Comment (by was):

 NOTE (from Noam Elkies):

 Maxima can factor multivariate polynomials mod p.  However it sometimes
 will fail, as the example below illustrates.

 {{{
 sage: R.<x,y> = GF(5)[]

 sage: f = 2*x^2*y^2 + 2*y^4 + x^3 - 2*x^2*y + x*y^2 + y^3 + x^2 - x*y -
 y^2 - 2*x - 2*y - 2

 sage: maxima.eval('modulus:5')
 sage: maxima(f).factor()
 Not enough choices for substitution.
 }}}

 This is a known issue.
