Ralf, I see you are using wxMaxima, which manages its own display,
so the abbreviation with "[64990 digits]" in it is something produced
by wxMaxima and not by Maxima proper (the computational engine
behind wxMaxima).
There might be an option for wxMaxima to tell it to not abbreviate
the output. Or you can use the command line Maxima interface,
which never abbreviates the output (if fpprec and fpprintprec cause
long outputs to be generated in the first place).
Hope this helps,
