Package: maxima
Version: 5.35.1-1
Severity: minor

While working on sage+maxima+ECL, I discovered a few strange precision issues : sometimes debian's maxima (GCL-based) seems to give a lesser precision that what sage (using it's own ECL-based maxima) expects.

For example: tanh(1.0);
sage:   0.7615941559557649
debian: 0.7615941559557648

Another one: acosh(0.5);
sage:   1.047197551196598 %i
debian: 1.047197551196597 %i - 1.110223024625156E-16

That doesn't look enormous, but I'm still puzzled.
