maxima compiled with clisp giving wrong diff

There was a temporary workaround for this problem posted on the list
recently.

The workaround I came up with because I had problem with cvs was posted 
earlier and it was:

Thanks for all the help and the suggestions. The Clisp-2.31 compiled
maxima produced the same answers as the gclisp compiled maxima. It also
works with texmacs on a win2000/cygwin system. I am pretty sure that it
will do the same on an win/xp/cygwin.

I basically went to maxia CVS and copied the following files:

commac.lisp
comm2.lisp
compar.lisp
displa.lisp
macsys.lisp
numth.lisp

and replaced the files in maxima5.9.0 src distribution with these files
and compiled the maxima with clisp-2.31. I also use the updatedb command
to update the database. This allowed maxima to open up as a shell within
texmacs.
