First the good news:
I downloaded the latest maxima and got the following test results using
xmaxima:

However I did run into a problem with wxMaxima which I thought I'd
report here since I don't have the necessary account for reporting
wxMaxima problems.
When I issue the following in wxMaxima-12.04.0 (which I built from
source today):
run_testsuite(display_all = true, tests = [rtest5]);
I get a series of dialog boxes reporting an XML error, the contents of
first one was:
02:46:28 PM: XML parsing error: 'mismatched tag' at line 1
<repeated 13 times>
This begins at:
********************** Problem 41 ***************
Input:
diff(f,x[1])
Result:
<repeated 13 times>
... Which was correct.
The test completes successfully
75/75 tests passed
No unexpected errors found out of 75 tests.
; Evaluation took:
; 0.48f0 seconds of real time

; 0.448932f0 seconds of system run time
; 1,533,103,192 CPU cycles
; 0 page faults and
; 7,578,496 bytes consed.
and I have to respond to all of dialogs before I can continue with
wxmaxima. The first time I noticed this problem was when I tried:
run_testsuite(display_all = true);
and it locked up my Linux system so I had to use the reset button.
I don't know if the problem is maxima's or wxmaxima's or even if
reporting it here is effective, but here it is anyway.
