ok.

  (1) Get a copy of OpenAxiom (trunk)

     mkdir sandbox && cd sandbox

     svn co https://open-axiom.svn.sf.net/svnroot/open-axiom/trunk \
          oa.trunk

  (2) Apply the patch below (conf.diff) to disable the debug workaround

      cd oa.trunk
      patch -p0 < /path/to/conf.diff

  (3) Configure and build OpenAxiom

      cd ../
      mkdir oa-build && oa-build
      ../oa.trunk/configure --with-lisp=ecl
      make

After a while, the build should fail at the end of compiling 
OrderedAbelianMonoid (OAMON.spad), with `segmentation fault' on MAC
OS, and `Cannot grow stack size' on x86_64.

If I trace the function Join, by inserting

  TRACE Join

at the end of the file oa.trunk/src/interp/category.boot, and rebuild
the algebra:

   cd src/algebra && make clean && cd -
   make

then the build does not fail on OAMON anymore.  It progresses till
failure happens at the end of compiling PrincipalIdealDomain (PID.spad).

If I try to run the failing compilation under GDB, then no failure
happens (at least, I cannot see it in the millions of SIGSEV signals
generated for the GC)

Note that without the patch conf.diff (so debug=3), everything builds
fine.

Thanks!
