  I reproduced this, but when I returned to simp:true, and then
	tried factor(x^2+1,%i^2+1), I got  a "memory may be damaged"
	error. I then sarted a fresh copy of Maxima - same error. Here is
	the output:
	
	(C1) factor(x^2+1,%i^2+1);
	
	
	Error: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]
	Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
	Error signalled by MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL.
	Broken at FACTOR.  Type :H for Help.
	MAXIMA>>
	
	Anybody else having this problem?
