Same behaviour.  The command hangs in maxima (command-line-interface). 
In texmacs gives the following error

  Load failed for /usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/src/mactex.lisp

   -- an error. \ Quitting. \ To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);

hangs in command-line maxima. In texmacs produces the following error

Load failed for /usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/src/mactex.lisp

 -- an error. \ Quitting. \ To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);


For each of the tests, the maxima or texmacs has been started fresh.
