We observed that installing OpenAxiom breaks an existing Axiom install.
According to the above it appears that the AXIOM shell variable collision
is not the problem. Can you try it again and see if you can figure out
where the collision occurs? There is no technical reason why the two
projects cannot coexist on the same machine.
