Well, William Stein found the following running the automatic tests
for sage:
(%i1) limit((5^x + 3^x)^(1/x), x, inf);
(%o1) 5
(%i2) tlimswitch : true;
(%o2) true
(%i3) limit((5^x + 3^x)^(1/x), x, inf);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
two equal vars generated
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
Best,
