 list thread], and it was resolved by updating defsystem.lisp.  We have
 defsystem 3.4 interim 3 in our current spkg.

 The bug report for that report
 
([http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2803755&group_id=4933&atid=104933
 here]), by the way, was closed after no one followed up on it and Maxima
 had upgrade a fair amount in the meantime.  But it's not clear that
 particular issue was resolved.

 Also, it's very hard to find defsystem.lisp.  Apparently it's still being
 developed, but it's very hard to find out where...
