I'm on 9.10, and maxima is pretty much useless. For example:
(%i1) sqrt(4);
produces the following:
Universal error handler called recursively (:ERROR NIL CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER "" "Couldn't protect") Universal error handler called recursively (:ERROR NIL CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER "" "Couldn't protect") Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER [or a callee]: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]
Automatically continuing. To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
