Erik, that is terrific. Thanks a lot for all your work.

Something I observed last time I tried to run the Maxima
test suite with ABCL: at some point the "asksign" code is
invoked in the test suite (not supposed to happen) and
it's actually waiting for you to enter p, n, or z (positive,
negative, or zero). Try typing "p" (maybe more than once).
Does that seem to get it rolling again?

I don't know why asksign is invoked; doesn't happen with
other Lisp implementations. 8^(

Thanks again, & all the best.
