I've been using maxima heavily for the last week or two, mostly
generating equations symbolically, and then doing numerical
computations on them.
I've been experiencing a lot of unstable behavior, getting errors like
"memory might be damaged" or just segfaults. Unfortunately there isn't
a common easily re-produceable factor.
I believe that one factor is when I interrupt a maxima running in
emacs using C-c C-c there is a small probability that the maxima
session will crash (say between p = .1 and .2). I assume this is
mostly a gcl problem.
Does anyone interested in debugging want core files or what have you?
