Yes,

on OS X 10.4.11, occasionally maxima.py hangs, as well as e.g.
decorate.py.  These hangs are sporadically, and happen sometimes if
the system is loaded, e.g. during a "make test". If you run these test
"standalone", they almost always pass OK. Probably some Mac OS X 10.4
specific system issue --- no one ever was able to hunt it down
(although Michael Abshoff had sacrificed a notable amount of time to
these maxima/pexpect issues).

Cheers,
Georg
