Sorry if I was not clear enough. I meant to say that it is a new bug
unrelated to the other one that was fixed for 5.20.0 and it is a serious
bug because Maxima gets stuck in an endless loop. I was hoping that
whoever fixed the previous bug could also fix this.
I have just submitted it in the tracker (bug number 2914296).
