This code not work in Debian Lenny, because this loop shouldn't execute! In Debian it go forever. It is a bug in a stable system and stable Maxima (I know in Debian every thing is very old but should be stable and very well tested).
That's a bit of a fallacy. After Stable is released, "feature bugs" don't get fixed, only security bugs.
If while Lenny was Testing no one ever filed a relevant RC bug against Maxima, or the D-D didn't consider it RC and he had too much other stuff on his plate, then the bug would not have gotten fixed.
