compile Maxima file containing a large list

I experienced a problem compiling a Maxima file containing a list of 256
elements.

I can load the file and do a compile(all). That works. But compile_file
fails. Error message:

Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-COMPILE-FILE [or a callee]: Dots appeared
illegally.

I did a translate_file and looked into the translation. There I found
         (LIST '(MLIST) 99 124 119 123 242 107 111 197 48 1 103 43 254
               215 171 118 202 130 201 125 250 89 71 240 173 212 162
               175 156 164 114 192 183 253 147 38 54 63 247 204 52 165
               229 241 113 216 49 21 4 199 35 195 24 150 5 154 7 18 128
               226 235 39 178 117 9 131 44 26 27 110 90 160 82 59 214
               179 41 227 47 132 83 209 0 237 32 252 177 91 106 203 190
               57 74 76 88 207 208 239 ...))))

So lists with more than 100 entries are abbreviated with '...'.

I used Maxima 5.27 on Linux build with GCL. Can anybody help?
