Subject: Test suite failure after updating from git

Hi list,
Since my last post on this topic, I have upgraded my lisp to sbcl-1.1.8,
which required that I rebuild Maxima, so I went through my git sequence
again and discovered that git branch -d pfb-build, doesn't really
copmpletely remove the branch. There were still some binary files from
sbcl-1.1.7 present, so I did a make clean and then did the
configure/make/make check/make install process again.
I also found that there was a wxMaxima-13.04.2 available so I got it and
installed it and ran the testsuite and I got the exact same error as I
originally posted.
I found that I could download the previous wxMaxima-12.09.0 so I got
that and installed it and ran the testsuite and I again got the exact
same error.
I think something in Maxima is causing a problem for wxMaxima. I think
that because the version of Maxima that I had installed before I did
this recent Maxima update ran the testsuite without problems in
wxMaxima-12.09.0. Now maybe my memory is bad and I never actually ran
the testsuite in wxMaxima using the previous Maxima install, but I think
I did. I wonder if there are any recent changes to rtest6 related to
problem 9. I don't have the required experience with git to discover
that so I'm asking here. If that turns out not to be the case, I'll file
a bug report with wxMaxima reporting this problem.
Respectfully,
Paul Bowyer
