 Replying to [comment:2 vbraun]:

 https://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/bugs/298/
 There's a proposed almost trivial patch there now. If we need this bug
 solved in Sage, we can patch our ECL.

 There is a good chance that Maxima/SBCL on OSX has the same problem as
 Maxima/ECL, since the underlying problem is a rather unfortunate
 interpretation of POSIX mandated behaviour of lseek on terminal streams.
 It might be worth trying that, because if the problem surfaces there too,
 then the Maxima developers might want to avoid depending on the behaviour
 of the "file-position" lisp function that ends up wrapping lseek.
 (Similarly for other lisps for which Maxima is supported).
