Does DRIBBLE work in CMUCL by itself?
What happens if you start CMUCL and then enter, say,

(dribble "/tmp/foo.log")
(+ 2 3)
(format t "foo~%")
(dribble)

and then inspect the content of file /tmp/foo.log ?
Do the inputs (+ 2 3) and (format t "foo~%") appear in the file?
Do their outputs appear?

If DRIBBLE itself works, then we can try to fix Maxima writefile.
Otherwise we should probably think about other ways
(not involving DRIBBLE) to implement writefile.
