Subject: Error comparing strings
(%i1) is("John">"Barry");
Maxima encountered a Lisp error: Error in PROGN [or a callee]:
Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
(%i2) build_info()$
Maxima version: 5.16.3
Maxima build date: 22:48 8/24/2008
host type: i686-pc-mingw32lisp-implementation-type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
lisp-implementation-version: GCL 2.6.8
Is this a bug or is it illegal to try to compare strings this way?
