Bug Description
== SRU Impact ==
A large portion of functionality is unavailable
== Test Case ==
In the maxima CLI, run
load ("draw");
Either this succeeds or fails (this bug)
== Regression Potential ==
This worked out in Debian and Ubuntu zesty, so minimal.
== Original bug report ==
In 16.04
load ("draw");

Seems like things are more complicated: Robert Dodier says the following:
> *LOAD-PATHNAME* is supposed to be a predefined global variable. It is
> supposed to be referenced in a certain way, but older versions of GCL
> require that it be referenced in a different way.
>
> The current version of Maxima (post commit 623a513, which fell after
> 5.37.2) has code to handle both ways to reference *LOAD-PATHNAME*. So
> from what I know, it's not susceptible to the error you've encountered.
