Something seems to have broken in imaxima: Problem solved

Hi Yasuaki,

It would be less cryptic; however, the information was in
the /tmp/imaximaxxxx/*.log files.  I didn't realize that they were being
created, and only found out about them by running under strace.  It
might be useful to add a comment about them as well.

Two other things:  1) When I exit shutting down the maxima process and
then exiting emacs, the /tmp/imaximaXXX directory isn't deleted; 2)
sometimes I simply exit without explicitly exiting maxima (answering yes
to the emacs prompt about running processes).  I occasionally get a core
dump.

Thanks for your help.

David
