This is happening because on the axiom-developer server we are not able to build Axiom with the maxpages option set to 256*1024 because of a GCL memory allocation limitation on this particular architecture. In the version of GCL that we are using, the next largest allowed memory size is 128*1024. Camm Maquire has worked on this problem. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-08/msg00195.html and has provided a modified gcl-2.6.8pre in cvs. I tried this but ran into additional problems. Camm has a fix: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-08/msg00225.html that allows maxpages to be increased but also requires a patch to some Axiom lisp code. When I get a chance I plan to complete the build Axiom Silver build improvements branch with these changes and install that on MathAction. That should solve the problems and also more help to test Silver.
