renaming files from within maxima



Well,
  I am running Fedore Core 6.  The only rpm available for 19d is in
  Fedora Core 7.  I tried a simple rpmbuild --rebuild and it did not
  work.

   So, it seems that I would have to build 19d from
  source, remove 19c and install 19d.  I looked at the 19d source and,
  unfortunately it is not a simple ./configure, make, make install, but
  requires some attention.  I don't have time for that right now, so
  I'll see if I can do this later. I'll let you know if the problem disappears.

Note: the problem also appeared in sbcl.

Thanks for your help in this matter.
