Well, there is more than one way to process an input file in Maxima, and
in one of those ways, the function reading the file throws MACSYMA-QUIT
and the caller is supposed to catch that to know the end of file was
reached. So it sounds as if the file was opened and the content was read
but the end of file wasn't handled correctly. Is there a way to see if
anything was actually processed? e.g. maybe look at values or function
definitions or print output.

A wild guess. Is it possible that it didn't switch back to reading from
the console after the file was processed? Completely guessing here.

best,
