Maxima's background lisp GCL has compile time maximum
memory limit. Default value - 32K pages which amounts to
~128Mb of RAM. Your computation exhausted all this
memory. Take a look at the output generated by the command
:lisp (room)
If your really need more RAM for your should rebuild
GCL with --enable-maxpages=64*1024 or some other
greater value and use this new GCL to rebuild Maxima.
