Any feedback on windows installer for Maxima 5.9.0.9beta2?



Hi there David,

I have downloaded and installed the Windows version on my Windows2000
machine.  No problems with the install.  However,  the following session
is not what I expected.

Regards
Chris

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
