While it may be silly for GCL to allocate memory as it does, we are pretty much
stuck with it. Maxima for Windows is compiled with an archaic, brittle
toolchain -- there are smart people trying to straighten out this situation but
for the moment we are stuck with the old tools. It is possible that GCL has
been updated to use some other allocation scheme -- I don't know. It is also
possible to use some Lisp other than GCL to compile Maxima, but other Lisps
have their own idiosyncrasies. 

Help me understand the prospects for getting Maxima running via Wine. Is the
allocation problem fixable? and if so, will an updated version of the patch fix
it? or is it not fixable? Thank you for any information.
