$MAX recently (between 5.9.2 and 5.9.3) became a simplifying function
instead of an ordinary Lisp function, so stuff like ($MAX ...) fails now.
You might grep the source to see if there are other places where
$MAX (and $MIN) are treated like ordinary functions, and fix those too.
It wouldn't hurt to throw some additional test cases into tests/rtest*.mac
to test the changed bits.
Thanks a lot,
