Yeah, those are the things I am always concerned about since anything
using pexpect just breaks too easily. When switching to a different
Maxima release and also using a different lisp things get worse (even
though they shouldn't be broken like *this*) and Debian seems to use
gcl for Maxima.
In the next couple weeks I will make an effort fix
* fix the "trivial" issues Tim reported a while back, i.e. #3686-
#3690
* fix the non-owner ought to be able to doctest issues, i.e. #5155 so
that users can run the regression suite of Sage without owning any of
the Sage tree
