In fact i have checked that the examples in 5.25.1 are already in corrected
form (so Raymond had updated them previously), the only difference being
that prob3.mac is called prob4.mac here. And i have also checked that the
precompiled maxima for Mac OS X (which seems compiled by sbcl) is able to
run the examples. So the problem is probably confined to people running
Windows, who needs some funny version of lisp (CCL ?). Perhaps those people
could try the maxima-5.25.1-gcl.exe which perhaps doesn't have the problem.
