OK, here we go:

CL-USER> (run)
Maxima 5.9.1.1cvs http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp SBCL 0.9.1
Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.
Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report()
provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) load("./unit.mac");

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 The value #<SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-INPUT-STREAM {9006619}>
 is not of type
   SB-KERNEL:ANSI-STREAM.

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