You can just do the following to check this in Maxima.

sage -maxima

(%i1) fullratsimp(paste in your expression here);
(%01) 0

well, that's what I got for your big one.  But it looks like your
expressions are well-formed enough that you can just paste them into
Maxima directly.  If you try to report a bug upstream, it's good to
try to do it in the "native" language, though of course sometimes
that's challenging.
