New description:

 On some systems, when executing
 {{{
 ./sage -tp --long devel/sage/sage/interfaces/lisp.py
 }}}
 there are two ECL processes which do (strace log)
 {{{
 read(0, "(setq sage0 2)\n", 1024)       = 15
 write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1
 write(1, "2", 1)                        = 1
 write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1
 write(1, ">", 1)                        = 1
 write(1, " ", 1)                        = 1
 read(0, 0x7f2c263b1000, 1024)           = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 --- SIGHUP (Hangup) @ 0 (0) ---
 --- SIGCONT (Continued) @ 0 (0) ---
 select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 1 (in [0], left {0, 0})
 select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 1 (in [0], left {0, 0})
 read(0, "", 1024)                       = 0
 write(2, "\n", 1)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 write(2, "\n", 1)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 write(2, "\n", 1)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 write(2, "\n", 1)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 [...]
 }}}
 after which they either segfault or keep running forever.

 A different way to see this problem:

 error |ecl 2>/dev/full'
