[Gcl-devel] Using do-symbols in gcl

[Stavros Macrakis]

(do-symbols (xx) (print xx)) prints out 484 symbols (through
$GFACTORSUM), then GCL (not just Maxima) crashes with "Error sending to
Maxima:: can not find channel named "sock252"".

Does anyone know what is going on?  Until this gets fixed, is there some
workaround for iterating through all symbols used by Maxima (presumably
those in the Maxima package)?

This does not happen in GCL-2.5.0 in a command window with no Maxima
loaded, but I've CC'd the GCL developers since it crashes GCL.  It
should be impossible to write user code that crashes the interpreter
like this, right?
