It hasn;t been fixed yet. I will take a look at it,
but it will be a couple of days. If I remember correctly
it should be easy to fix; I am inclined to commit it to
the 5.21 release branch so it would appear in a 5.21.1 release.

What are you working on? I am always interested to hear
what people are doing with Maxima.
