The Mathematica Collect[] bug that I reported in sci.math.symbolic and was
repeated here by Walter Daugherity is known by Wolfram Research and they
say the fix will be in the next major release of the Mathematica kernel,
which will be Real Soon Now.  My hope is that that release will coincide
with the 2.0 software release for the NeXT, in which case all NeXT users
will get the fix with the new operating system.  NeXT will be announcing
the new OS in the middle of September (the 14th was it?), but from
experience, we might wonder when they will actually ship 2.0 ...
