No problem at all!  I'm happy to test this as many times as necessary.

In any case, this works fine in that maxima is indeed evaluated and
output is returned.  However, two problems arise:

1. lines of the form "rat: replaced XXX by YYY = ZZZ" are not deleted
   (as used to be by the grep -v replaced hack I had in the original
   ob-maxima).  Essentially, we need to ignore output lines that match
   the regex "^rat: replaced .*$" (I think this should do it...).

2. The output is converted to an org table:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** simple test
    #+begin_src maxima :results value
programmode: false;
eq: x**2-1 = 0;
solution: solve(eq, x);
print(solution);
    #+end_src

    #+results:
    | solve: | solution: | x | = | - | 1 | x | = | 1 | [%t1, | %t2] |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This isn't necessary appropriate in this case...  but I guess this is
now a matter of adding all the normal frills given that the basic
functionality is there?

Thanks!
