 Thanks for indulging me, that helps a lot.

 Hmm, we should really catch this particular RuntimeError (enough to search
 for 'Maxima asks', I think) and then copy the code which gave the user a
 potential way to fix it.  This behavior will be too confusing for the most
 likely people to be using Maxima, which is why we changed it the first
 time.  Should be pretty easy to copy from the previous behavior, though,
 if you are still getting this error.
