About matrix(...) triggering this error,

This is a GCL-specific behavior (number of arguments for a function call
is limited to 64). There is a work-around in current Maxima CVS,
which will be in the next release. If you are brave, you can copy the
new definition of $matrix from
http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/maxima/maxima/src/mlisp.lisp
(Look for (defmspec $matrix ...) in mlisp.lisp.)
Hope this helps,
