Hi all, Sorry for the slow response. I got inundated with work and couldn't get back to this until now.
If I'm following this correctly the state of the keepfloat environment variable changes the results of the computation. If this variable is kept as true, per Sage's default and for the reasons in http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/2400, something breaks. If 'keepfloat' is set to false and Maxima is allowed to approximate a float with a rational number, the computation finishes without throwing an error. Is it reasonable to expect that Maxima should be able to handle partial fractions with floats? I'm working on downloading and compiling source codes. First time for me for these projects. Let me know how I might be of help.
