You might join our cathartic session started in
http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2004/007043.html
As a work-around, you can do (only once, in a fresh Maxima and in a
directory in file_search_lisp, e.g. in the `share' subdirectory)
save("initial-world.lisp",all);
This will produce a small file (~7kb).
After these preparations, the two commands
kill(all);
load("initial-world.lisp");
should have the desired effect.
