Hi, David, Thank you for your post. I think your analysis is right. I tested pure maxima environment, no such a problem; it happens only in wxmaxima. I guess there might be something incompatible in the process communication between wxmaxima and current version of maxima.
Some related info: wxmaxima 0.7.1-1 maxima 5.15.0-2 maxima-share 5.15.0-2 Thank you very much.
