But those don't seem to be loaded by /usr/local/bin/maple/bin/mapleV 

$ ldd /usr/local/maple/bin/mapleV
        libm.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl21) => /lib/libm.so.4.6.27
        libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl21) => /lib/libc.so.4.6.27

I don't think xcompat is the cause as I also have xcompat installed, yet it
works for me and not for you. Odd.

  Thomas>   Somebody please reassign this bug report, please :-)

If that was needed, you could do it yourself. Just look into the files
	doc/bug-mailserver-refcard.txt
	doc/bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt 
from any debian mirror.
