In the processing of double-checking my toy program, I discovered the
simplest way to crash ANSI GCL on my machine: enter an unkown variable
at the REPL prompt:

Unrecoverable error: bind stack overflow.

(I added the (setq x 5) line just to show that something works.

Please do. I think my build was crashing when it tried to load bessel.o.
My build is not a very good example -- what I have is neither 5.9.0, nor
the current cvs version. However, I haven't been messing with bessel, so
I don't think the error is related to anything weird in my Maxima.

That would be great.
