You are right - just loading in comm.lisp messes with integrate.

-----------------------------------------------------------
(%i1) integrate(-1/(x^2-x),x,-1/2,1/2);
Principal Value
(%o1) log(3)
(%i2) load ("comm-old.lisp")$
(%i3) integrate(-1/(x^2-x),x,-1/2,1/2);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in COND [or a callee]: The variable NUM is unbound.

Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
