Unfortunately it is possible that you read in arbitrary lisp functions
using load(..)
which can change the maxima system in ways that the system does not know
about, and which kill() cannot revert to the previous state.
Also, some lisp systems will have irrevocably made changes (for example,
allocating all available address space for numbers, and permanently
leaving no more for lists) -- changes that cannot be undone.
