Yes this problem is fixed as well.
In any case with CLISP CVS 12.10.2002 I can't
reproduce any problem I observed earlier with
clisp 2.30. Everything seems to be fine.
But I want to stress that I was not able
to reduce these problems to some simple
test outside Maxima (except wrong
warning in expt) and now they all gone.
