\end{axiom}
is nonsense. The problem is in COMBF/dvdsum:
\begin{axiom}
dvdsum(l, x) ==
x = retract(y := third l)@SE => 0
k := retract(d := second l)@K
differentiate(h := third rest rest l,x) * eval(f := first l, k, h)
- differentiate(g := third rest l, x) * eval(f, k, g)
+ opdsum [differentiate(f, x), d, y, g, h]
\end{axiom}
Although this:
$$d/dx \sum_i^x f(i) = f(x)$$
is a nice try, it is wrong. It seems that the order of magnitude is
roughly correct, but that's about it.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to return the thing unevaluated,
so I cannot fix the bug yet
