asinh(1.0) is approximately 0.88137358701954302523. Using ECL 10.2.1 and Maxima 5.20.1, on two Solaris 10 systems, we get a problem on the system running Solaris x86, but not on the system with the SPARC processor.
This was in Sage 4.5.2.rc1, but Maxima is (as far as I can tell), run independently of Sage, so the maxima input and output are seen, with no processing by Sage. On the Solaris 10 x86 system, we see: ============================================================ drkir...@fulvia:[/home/palmieri/fulvia/32bit/sage-4.5.2.rc1] $ ./sage -maxima ;;; Loading #P"/home/palmieri/fulvia/32bit/sage-4.5.2.rc1/local/lib/ecl/defsystem.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/home/palmieri/fulvia/32bit/sage-4.5.2.rc1/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/home/palmieri/fulvia/32bit/sage-4.5.2.rc1/local/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp" Maxima 5.20.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp ECL 10.2.1 Distributed under the GNU Public License.

There's a bit more details on a Sage trac bug ticket I created for this, though I believe there's enough information above. Although the Solaris 10 SPARC port of Sage has been stable for several month, on Solaris 10 x86, Sage was built for the first time this week, so a few problems do exist, though I don't think there's anything related to this problem.
