I noticed this when running the Maxima testsuite with gcl 2.7.1:
|***** Spawning process echo |There are also message about spawning gnuplot. This can be easily duplicated by doing:
|system("echo abc"); ***** Spawning process echo abc |Are these really necessary? Can they be disabled? The other lisps I tried (cmucl, ccl64) with maxima just print “abc”, which is what I think people expect.
