 using maxima.plot needs gnuplot installed, either in the PATH or as an
 spkg.

 In the absence of gnuplot, maxima.plot should send an error messages. It
 crashes instead.

 (Ensure that you do not have gnuplot installed).

 {{{
 sage:  maxima.plot2d('sin(x)','[x,-5,5]')
 ....
 EOF: End Of File (EOF) in read_nonblocking(). Exception style platform.
 ...
 sage:
 }}}

 If you try again the same command

 {{{
 sage:  maxima.plot2d('sin(x)','[x,-5,5]')
 Maxima crashed -- automatically restarting.
 Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded in
 __subclasscheck__' in <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> ignored
 Exception RuntimeError: RuntimeError('maximum recursion depth exceeded in
 cmp',) in Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded in
 __subclasscheck__' in <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> ignored
  ignored
 }}}

 And goes on with RuntimeError endlessly, you have to kill sage to stop it.

 With gnuplot installed everything goes smooth.
