reassign -1 gcl
retitle -1 gcl: crash after ctrl-C
thanks
recipe:
(1) start gcl
(2) hit <ctrl-C> and then <enter>
causes a crash (shown below). Since maxima is built from gcl (and
building maxima against clisp seems to not have these problems), it seems
likely that this is a gcl bug.
I get the same "out of memory allocating N bytes after a total of M bytes"
error frequently when trying to use maxima via Sage's pexpect interface,
so I suspect that this is a relatively easy to reproduce instance of a
more serious problem with gcl's memory management.
(Cloning the bug rather than just reassigning, since once it is fixed is
gcl, Maxima will need a rebuild to fix it bug there).
