Hi,
I posted this also as a bug but I suspect it might be just me not
understanding the
concepts of maxima. So I am reposting it here.
The following maxima code
alphas=[];
alpha(n):=assoc(n,alphas);
alpha(5);
gives the error
========================================================
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in PROGN [or a callee]: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]
Automatically continuing.
========================================================
On the other hand
assoc(5,[]);
returns false (as it should).
====================================================
This is the banner of maxima
Maxima 5.9.3 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.7 (aka GCL)
Any hints?
Michel
