OK, so it stopped working with CMUCL and SBCL but seems to work just
fine with CLISP (differences in flushing stdout perhaps). Also, for new
wxmaxima I also had to add prints along the way, otherwise it would get
stuck. So, I suppose this is more lisp/wxmaxima problem rather than
maxima (btw, everything runs find from the command line).
It would be great to have some standard way of reading in strings in maxima.
