Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: maxima

Consider the following:

(%i1) assume(((y1-y0+x1-x0)*(V+U-y1-x1)) > 0);
integrate(1/( (x0+t*(x1-x0)-U) + (y0+t*(y1-y0)-V)),t,0,1);
(%o1) [(y1-y0+x1-x0)*(V+U-y1-x1)>0]
Is  (y1-y0+x1-x0)*(V+U-y1-x1)  positive, negative, or zero?

Although the assume() command states that the ambiguous expression is
more than zero, integrate() still asks if it is positive,negative, or
zero. Expected behavior is acceptance of the assume() line to address
the ambiguity encountered in integrate().

Bug or feature? Can anyone else reproduce this?

Ubuntu 9.10
Amd64
maxima ver. 5.17.1 Karmic

I am using the sysctl.conf "kernel.randomize_va_space = 1" workaround
which fixed a lot of previous issues but does not appear to fix this.
