 > What is the status of this ticket?  I can't help on the Cygwin side for
 a while yet but am happy to do any sage.math or recent Mac testing.  Is it
 "needs work" on the uncaught error?  And is there a link to the upstream
 report?  Just trying to gauge the status, thanks.

 [http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02367.html
 here] you can see an easy way to reproduce this using only ECL and the
 latest Maxima. There was no reaction from upstream. Although the ECL
 maintainer  [http://www.mail-archive.com/ecls-
 [email protected]/msg02391.html says] he's not doing a lot on ECL
 now. Probably one has to file a proper detailed bug report via an
 appropriate SF bug tracker.

 However, I am not really sure ECL must fix this. Indeed, this is caused by
 a bug in maxima, a compiled component. I don't see why one should demand
 more grace from a Lisp compiler than from a C compiler. The maxima bug can
