quitting maxima



Hi all,

I got maxima yesterday.  Installed the rpms, am using RH 9.0.  Right off 
a problem popped up. In a terminal, I invoke it with maxima.  All seems 
fine, but when I type  QUIT () it just hangs.  Two ctrl-d will get out. 
  Anyone have an idea why this happens?  Looked at the 2005 archives, 
but no mention of it as far as I could tell.

Thanks,

Jim
