This sounds bit of strange to me... I have had no problems with

Slackware 7.1 + maxima 5.6 (I think the last cvs tree I downloaded
was more or less in july, but sorry not to remember) + gcl 2.4.0
(also not remember the date)... egcs-1.1.2 Pentium III 933Mhz + 128Mb
runs all the tests OK.

Hope this may help to enlighten things a bit.

Regards,

	Pedro.
