Hi Camm!

Below is the faulty Maxima session under GDB. And immediately
several questions.  First - do you know how to build Maxima with
debugging symbols?  GCL was built with --enable-debug but maxima
image built on the top of this GCL has no debugging symbols.
Second - what next?  What piece of information shall I find?
