Sorry about this limitation in Maxima. It really should be able to get this
right, and we'll try to fix it in future versions. In the meantime, there
are a couple of workarounds:
tlimit(x/(x-1)-1/log(x),x,1,plus) => 1/2
(uses taylor package to analyze)
limit(ratsimp(x/(x-1)-1/log(x)),x,1,plus) => 1/2
(pre-simplifying the argument)
Hope these help for other cases.
By the way, when reporting problems like this, please turn off
two-dimensional display with display2d:false so that the transcript is
easier to read in email.
Thanks,
