[racket] Using Maxima fra Racket

Thanks for taking the time to look at the problem.

It sounds like Maxima and your Racket program are both trying to be the TCP

I am fairly sure that part is correct. I do receive the welcome message
from Maxima. And I took a peek in the Maxima code to see what -s does.
This comment is from the Maxima code:

;; Connect Maxima to a socket which has been opened by
;; some third party, typically a GUI program which supplies
;; input to Maxima.
;; Note that this code DOES NOT create a Maxima server:
;; Maxima is the client!

I'll look into this. I did run into blocking problems in earlier versions
of my snippet.

Ok.
