bug, everything looks rather ok.
Well, presumably we'll never merge a new Maxima without new ''known'' bugs
(although fixing some old ones), probably even regressions, but I feel a
bit uncomfortable with ''how'' symbolic integration (using the Maxima
library interface) now fails, since Sage actually ''crashes'' (without
itself catching the segfault).
(Others may say that's better than "silently" giving a wrong answer... ;-)
)
We could mark the doctest `# not tested` for now, but who knows where else
similar can or will happen.
Thoughts?
