Yes, it's known.  Solving large problems uses some pretty intense
resources in Maxima trying to go a number of recursion levels deep.
See the Maxima documentation for algsys, which is usually where this
ends up happening.

I don't think there is a fix, unfortunately - I've tried!  Unless we
were to have a way to indicate an interrupt interval to Maxima - which
is conceivable, but would have to alter the interface, and so one
would have to do it on one's own using the interface class
initialization, I guess, if that's possible there.
