Ok, it seems due to the other email that the problem is solved or at
least worked around. But I will update to the latest CVS and see what
happens and in case the problem still exists try to debug it with the
above tips.

Sure, for the Maxima installer I can stick with the default version, but
for the Sage build I will definitely uses the latest boehm_gc. We will
also do some serious testing on our end, so I am confident that we will
sniff out any issues and hopefully get them resolved.

Yes, that is "code" in the Sage project for a native Windows build. I am
at SFU in Canada for a Sage Days until the end of next week and will
then have more time to get a binary up and running. I assume you would
also like to provide the GCL based binary for now and then once it turns
out that ecl+Maxima is working well add those binaries to the download
page. I will do 32 as well as 64 bit installers.

Well, thank you two, Juan and everybody else for making Maxima work with
ecl since that makes my life of porting Sage much, much easier.
