wxMaxima 0.7.3 does not work correctly with the new maxima strings. I
will put out wxMaxima 0.7.4 to be included with maxima 5.14. This will
fix this last error.

Another issue is that the test 112 in rexamples.mac fails. The reason
is that reveal behaves differently  now that strings are not symbols
anymore:

(%i1) integrate(1/(x^3+2), x)$
(%i2) reveal(%, 3);
                                     atan         log
(%o2)                - quotient + ---------- + ----------
                                  product(2)   product(2)
(%i3) ?print(%);
((MPLUS SIMP) ((MQUOTIENT SIMP) %LOG (("product" SIMP) 2))
 ((MQUOTIENT SIMP) %ATAN (("product" SIMP) 2))
 ((MMINUS SIMP) "quotient"))
                                     atan         log
(%o3)                - quotient + ---------- + ----------
                                  product(2)   product(2)

I think that the strings in %o3 should be symbols. If you agree, I can
take a look into this.
