Package: axiom
Version: 20050901-4
Severity: normal
In the current combination of texmacs and axiom, the axiom interface
is broken (again). I believe the problem this time is due to axiom,
in that the workaround that texmacs tries to use does not work.
The problem, on the axiom side, is that every prompt gets doubled,
even with all the extra features turned off:

The program 'tm_axiom' in texmacs then gets confused.
Looking at the code in /usr/bin/axiom , I see that sman is called
unconditionally. I believe is responsible for the extra prompt.
_After_ the call to sman, there is code to decide whether to call sman
conditionally (from debian/run-sman.sh); why isn't this run?
Indeed, if I comment out line 202 of /usr/bin/axiom (the line
exec $SPAD/bin/sman $otheropts -ws $serverws
) the texmacs interface works normally.
