There are two possibilities here:
a) upgrade to prerelease 4 of clisp 2.47
b) switch to ecl
(a) is less work for now and there are some fixes in there that solve
some issues on Solaris/Sparc, so my hope is that it will fix those
random-ish crashes we are seeing on x86-64 and also ppc. clisp-2.46 is
known broken on Solaris/Sparc, i.e. Maxima and clisps' test suite
itself segfaults.
(b) is more work and not something I want to do this week since 3.1.3
is supposed to go out the door quickly. Since I want to update Maxima
from 5.16.2 to 5.16.3 I will likely attempt to do the clisp update,
but sooner or later I will do (b).
