New description:
{{{
sage: mathematica(1)
}}}
hangs indefinitely if `Mathematica` is not installed.
The reason is that internally the script `$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/math-readline`
is called by `Expect()`, and the latter hangs. This script should check
whether the `math` command has finished: currently the `math-readline`
script keeps running even after the subprocess has exited.
