well, Mma's evaluation policy differs substantially from Maxima's ---
so far as i know, Mma tries to reevaluate everything until it does not
change any more.
i think Maxima's infeval (infinite evaluation) evaluation flag has a
similar effect ---
try ev (expr, infeval); or just expr, infeval; on the command line.
hope this helps,
