hgfred and generalized hypergeometric functions



I am using Maxima 5.9.1 on Debian Linux 3.1. I have recently discovered
possible bugs in the hgfred function when applied to generalized
hypergeometric functions such as 3F2 function. 
More specifically, I have compared the output of maxima with the
identities listed on functions.wolfram.com for the generalized
hypergeometric functions. 

Generally, when the expressions reduce to a rational fraction, 
maxima gives the correct denominator, but the numerator differs from
the formulas quoted in functions.wolfram.com except for the constant
term.  

I am unsure whether these potential bugs are fixed in the more recent
versions of maxima (5.9.2/5.9.3) since I haven't seen bug reports 
on the sourceforge site dealing with the generalized hypergeometric
functions. 

Below is a copy of the maxima session.


Maxima restarted.
