;    - Compiling module "definite-integration" 
;      - Compiling source file "/usr/local/src/maxima/src/defint.lisp" 
Compiling /usr/local/src/maxima/src/defint.lisp.
End of Pass 1.  
; (DEFUN BATA0) is being compiled.
;; Warning: Trying to return multiple values. 
;But BATA0 was proclaimed to have single value.
;Only first one will assured.

End of Pass 2.
