Eureka! I figured out what cause the problem!

It seems to be some bad interaction with a style file I am using in the
course in question. The style file in question is at:
/res/vcu/jmsullivan/style_files/prob.sty

I've been using this style file in all my courses for about a year now.
However, when I removed it from the course environment the issue with the
maxima problem disappeared. It now behaves as expected. If I put the style
file back in the course environment, the problem reoccurs.

So, what is wrong with using this style file with the CAS response type
problems? I like my style file and would like to keep it if possible.

Thanks for any help,
Jay

To add further information I justed tested on the educog server from the coastal domain as CC. The result is that the problem works fine! So, is there some course environment parameter that might be affecting the behavior of this problem? 
 It clearly does not work as expected as CC or student within the BCCC domain. Jay<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 11, 2007 4:04 PM, Peter Riegler &lt;
