I observed such behavior but only under xmaxima and only with not yet
released GCL 2.6.8. But you log shows GCL 2.6.7. Strange.
Some questions to clarify the situation:
1. Do you use xmaxima? If yes then what about maxima in console.
2. What is your Linux distro? Maybe your GCL 2.6.7 build applies
not quite good patches backported from 2.6.8-beta ?
