Greetings!  Recently, some change has been introduced into the 32bit arm
kernels (apparently) which is blocking maxima and axiom, and perhaps
others.  These programs rely on mprotecting various pages read-only to
accelerate garbage collection, an algorithm which has worked on arm for
many years.  Now, after a relatively few calls, mprotect returns ENOMEM,
indicating (perhaps) that the kernel table size for this information has
been decreased.  When run under gdb, the calls succeed, which is a
mystery to me. 

In any case, I can turn this algorithm off if this is likely to be a
permanent condition on these machines.  If this is rather a bug, please
let me know if I can assist in fixing it.

Take care,
