Package: maxima
Version: 5.49.0+dsfg-4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,

it appears that 'maxim-index.lisp' encodes wrong lengths
(column <LENGTH  IN CHARACTERS>).

We can check it in a maxima session:
entering '? ?' gives a paragraph that ends in the middle of a sentence.

This can be observed for other description requests.
I found this issue by entering '? build_info' in wxMaxima:
I got an endless loop instead of a description (it appeared
that the cut was around a special character).

hth,
Jerome
