[LON-CAPA-users] maxima response problems?

I think I've discovered the source of my difficulty in viewing cas.problem
from resource space. Felicia, do you think this is a bug?
I was having the same problem whether I was logged into our server or to
s10.lite.msu.edu or vita.fh-wolfenbuettel.de (by the way, Stefan, I get a
certificate error when I go to that site). In each case I was assuming the
role of course coordinator in my Chemistry Demo site which I set up to show
people the capabilities of LON-CAPA for chemistry. When I took a course
coordinator role in another course, the problem worked fine.
The only difference in my Chemistry Demo site is that I have set it up to
show all problems in "practice" mode, so anyone browsing the course can get
a feel for the variety available in each question.
However, I only see this difficulty with the cas.problem. The other
problems in the same directory (Formel.problem, numerisch.problem) work
fine, as do problems from other libraries.
Perhaps this is a glitch related to maxima? Stefan, can you tell me the
location of a few other maxima problems so I can check if this is related to
maxima, or just some kind of glitch in cas.problem?
