Hi all,
When I do, for example:
(%i1) for i:1 thru 60000 do (nterms(2*a-5*b*c*d^3+a*c^2-3*c^3*d));
after that the amount of memory used by maxima is more than 33MB.
I obtain this memory size by running that immediately after started
Maxima (Maxima take 6MB when it start on my machine)
In fact this is the same for all function that I call in the loop.
I don't know if it is a maxima bug or GCL bug.
Maxima 5.9.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp Kyoto Common Lisp GCL 2.6.5 (aka GCL)
It seems like if the garbage collector does nothing.
And kill(All) doesn't free memory.
