Comment(by kcrisman):
As it happens, this is still a problem in Sage 4.1.x - but the problem is
somewhat more subtle than just some Maxima bug, or Sage incorrectly
parsing Maxima output:
{{{
(%i1) limit(-x/sqrt(1-x^2),x,1,minus);
(%o1) infinity
}}}
BUT Maxima's infinity is not Sage's infinity; it is the complex infinity!
If the answer is +infinity, Maxima would return 'inf'. I've asked the
Maxima list about this, so we'll see what happens.
