    /loncom	lonmaxima 
  Log:
  We are quite often using the simp flag in maxima. It is quite handy for problems of type "simplify the following expression". However, simp is not reset to its default value (true) by the kill(all) incantation. reset() does the job.
  
  If reset is not wanted here for other reasons, I recommend replacing it by
  simp:true;
  in order to do the job intended here.
