    11 This is due to the commands in this file which create the tab completion list for use with Sage's Maxima; for some reason even when done 'by hand' they often time out, and since they happen a few different times in this file it will nearly always time out (even with huge `SAGE_TIMEOUT` set).
     16This is because on OS X 10.4, maxima takes a long time (a few seconds to a minute) to process an interrupt.  Sage only waits 2 seconds for an interrupt and thinks that Maxima is stuck.  It naively sends more interrupts which totally lock up Maxima.  The work-around is simply to send only 1 interrupt and wait...
