Re: [Maxima-discuss] Convolution and Plotting - bind stack overflow

[Me S. <vla...@gm...>]

Hello everyone

Maybe a better solution would be to add a separate function, like
build_info()? If the need comes, the user can run os_info(), or any
name. This way people that don't want too much info disclosed can
choose when to add it, and those that don't mind can run that just
fine when running build_info().

Vlad
