Greetings, and thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! This one is important and I'll get right on it. If you can arrange for the environment variable GCL_MULTIPROCESS_MEMORY_POOL to remain unset in the meantime, this should go away. I think recent maxima has taken advantage of this pooling feature, but the package needs updating to handle system and user defaults.
