The problem is with wxMaxima, not Maxima. I have my own interface to maxima called tMaxima which I recently posted the source code
for to this list and I tried it with 5.18.0 and it worked fine.
wxMaxima crashes.
tMaxima gives:

I don't understand what's going on here. Is the problem in wxMaxima
or in Maxima? I'm trying to determine whether to try to squeeze a bug
fix into the 5.18 release branch. Can you post the 2 files in question?
Maybe wxMaxima 0.8.2 cannot load any files? (including the ones
created by 0.8.2)
I seem to recall Andrej V saying something about recent changes in
Maxima created trouble for wxMaxima. Is the observed behavior a
symptom of that?
Thanks for any information,
Robert Dodier
