Never mind - many of us at MuPAD read this group regularly. Actually,
Vladimir has contributed many bugs to
www.mupad.de/BUGS
and even got an award for being our best beta tester.
 
The advantage of using our bug interface is that you get a status report
whenever something changes (e.g. the bug is fixed, or a developer gives a
detailed analysis why something is going wrong). If people write about us
(and not to us), we will take notice but not answer in all cases.

What I do not understand is what all these bugs have to do with Maple or
with recreational mathematics. Therefore, this message goes to
sci.math.symbolic only.
