Actually, this even happens at the command line, and has nothing to do
with the comment.
[sen at gumbie Work]$ more foo_3.mac
f(x):= 2*x;
[sen at gumbie Work]$ uname -a
Linux gumbie 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[sen at gumbie Work]$
(%i1) load("foo_3");
(%o1) ./foo_3.mac
(%i2) f(3.4);
(%o2) 6.8
(%i3) dispfun(f);
(%t3) f(x) := 2 x
(%o3) [%t3]
(%i4) batch("foo_3");
batching #p/home/maxie/sen/Math_496/Maxima/Work/foo_3.mac
(%i5) f(x) := 2 x
(%o5) f(x) := 2 x
Since "load" works it is no big deal for me, but it is a bit strange.
