I'm beginning to think this might be a maxima problem.
I uninstalled wxmaxima-12.04.0 and reinstalled wxmaxima-0.8.7, which I
had been using for quite some time (since Jan-18-2011), and I get the
same error sequence when I run:
run_testsuite(display_all = true, tests = [rtest5]);
Is anyone else able to confirm this problem?
