Bug#486396: maxima complains about lisp-error

[Kristóf Kály-Kullai]

I can confirm this bug on a 64 bit Lenny. However, it only happens with the
new 2.6.25 kernel, when I boot the older 2.6.24 or 2.6.22 kernels on the
exact same system maxima does work as expected. I do not know maxima how
closely interacts with the kernel, the problem might even be in one of its
dependencies?

Bug#486396: maxima complains about lisp-error

[dino]

This looks like a serious problem to me as it renders the package useless.
It seems to be a 64bit specific problem as I tested it on three boxes:

64bit lenny - crashes
64bit sid - crashes
32bit sid - works

Also the error itself is strange as it stats its out of memory but the box
still have enough unused ram.
