Is there an argument on the command line when I run gcl, or is there
something I can edit in the config or makefile, which will give me some
extra room?
To enable a larger page table in gcl you must configure it at compile time:
cd gcl
./configure '--enable-maxpage=128*1024'
make
and then remove maxima/src/saved_maxima and remake in the maxima directory.
The default should probably be bigger now that memory is so cheap.
Note from the ./configure --help:
--enable-maxpage=XXXX will compile in a page table of size XXX (eg '--enable-maxpage=64*1024' would give 64K pages allowing 256 MB if pages are 4K each)
