I found a display bug in maxima version 5.6. If nobody's touched the
display code it may still be in the current version. The problem is
that the numerator and denominator of a fraction display offset from
the bar that's supposed to be between them:

Note the 3 above the beta and the 2 underneath it. It should read:
