In fact we have already started maxima with a twice bigger dynamical memory,
the result is the same, so hints to a bug. The appropriate invocation is:
maxima -X '--dynamic-space-size 1000'
then load(lapack).
The 4104 above is replaced by 8208 in the corresponding error message.
P.S. on a mac, and using the provided package one has to replace above
"maxima" by "<path>/maxima.sh" which appears somewhere inside the package
