Actually, I misread the bug report (apparently, sourceforge lists things 
with the most current thing first, so the message I thought was the 
resolution was actually the initial exploration of the issue). 
Karl-Dieter, do you see the patch to maxima at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2880797&group_id=4933&atid=104933
 
(in the first comment)?  That patch only affects the trig substitution, 
I believe, so it's a much less drastic change than reverting 
triginverses for everything.  I think we ought to use the patch to 
maxima, rather than setting triginverses like I implied in the above 
message.

Thanks,

Jason
