Greetings!

Thank you so much!

I've located the issue -- denormalized floats on alpha.  Right now,
GCL uses the -mieee gcc switch.  How much worse is the
-mieee-with-inexact?  I hesitate to use this if it slows everything
down, especially since it does not appear that maxima intends to use
these numbers anyway.  This having been said, a generic lisp system
should support least-positive-double-float, et. al.  Do you have an
opinion?  

Take care,
