This bug really hurts :-(

A question: I have this problem (wxmaxima can't connect to maxima) but I
don't have gcl at all (I'm using 'clisp' instead).

maxima alone works just fine, it connects successfully to the lisp
interpreter.  It is only wxmaxima that has the problem.

Moreover, if I install gcl, and change the preferences in wxmaxima to use gcl 
(instead of clisp) I get exactly the same problem:
Any input to wxmaxima results in:

    CLIENT: Lost socket connection ...
    Restart maxima with 'Maxima-> Restart maxima'.

So how can this possibly be a problem with gcl? I assume William Grant
was referring to a different problem in gcl.

If this helps, I'm attaching a full (13K) 'strace -f' output from
wxmaxima including the failure.
