#121 xmaxima fails

[Anonymous]

Maxima works well, but xmaxima doesn't. It fails to
start maxima and gives the following error messages

this message is repeated until maxima-run-lisp and
lisp.run are killed.

I don't observe this behavior with a similar setup (maxima
5.9.3 / clisp 2.34 on linux). Closing this report as "works
for me".
