[cl-debian] Bug#363909: gcl: version in etch breaks maxima 5.9.3

[Harald Geyer]

Package: gcl
Version: 2.6.7-14
Severity: normal

Hi!

I compiled the original maxima 5.9.3 sources, which worked fine.
However with the newly compiled maxima binary I get the following
session:

(%i1) bug_report();

The Maxima bug database is available at
    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=104933&group_id=4933&func=browse
Submit bug reports by following the 'Submit New' link on that page.
Please include the following build information with your bug report:
-------------------------------------------------------------

Maxima version: 5.9.3
Maxima build date: 13:0 3/31/2006
host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
lisp-implementation-type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
lisp-implementation-version: GCL 2.6.7

-------------------------------------------------------------
The above information is also available from the Maxima function build_info().

(%o1)
(%i2) integrate(1/(a*x^2+b), x);
Is  a b  positive or negative?

Is  a b  positive or negative?

Is  a b  positive or negative?

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Console interrupt.

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
(%i3)



That is: Maxima asks the same question over and over again, without
giving me a chance to enter anything.

The same maxima sources work under sarge without any problems. So I
guess, it must be gcl's fault.
