----------------------------------------
I am using the new version of comm.lisp downloaded from
git, and find a peculiar interaction with integrate
resulting in a lisp error:

------------------------------------

Maxima 5.26.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.8 (a.k.a. GCL)

(%i1) integrate(-1/(x^2-x),x,-1/2,1/2);
Principal Value
(%o1) log(3)
(%i2) load ("comm-new.lisp")$
(%i3) integrate(-1/(x^2-x),x,-1/2,1/2);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in COND [or a callee]: The variable NUM is unbound.

Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

(%i4) build_info()$
