Yeah, I saw a lot of warnings, too.  I guess I've gotten too
accustomed to plenty of warnings with huge/complex software.

I get those same results.  :-(

diff(cos(x),x), diff(3*x,x), diff(exp(x),x), and diff(x+x,x) all
fail similarly.

Curiously, diff(x,x) works fine.  :-/

For completeness' sake, it's fink's maxima 5.9.0.0-2.

William McCallum (maxima's maintainer) did say that clisp 2.32
doesn't get along with maxima.  Perhaps he can comment further.

HTH,
