Hi, 

     I'm computing a simple covariant derivative of a tensor field W[a,b] in 3 spacetime dimensions. Unfortuntly, my result in Maple 2015 is disagreeing with those obtained in GRTensorII. I think this could be a bug in D_.

Looking at the first result, W[r t ; t] = mu/r in GRTensor II  but D_[t] W[r t] = -mu/r*(cos(theta)^2 - 2). Some ones are correct (diagonals), and some are off by a factor of 2. Some are completely off though.
