[Bug 303587] [NEW] Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER [or a callee]: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]

[tommy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: maxima

Ubuntu 8.10 (amd64)
maxima 5.13.0-3ubuntu1

A number of operations cause this error, but the quickest way I've found
to reproduce it is to use "describe(plot_options);"

maxima provides output as it should, but also gives this error text:

---------

Universal error handler called recursively (:ERROR NIL
                                            CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER
                                            "" "Couldn't protect")
Universal error handler called recursively (:ERROR NIL
                                            CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER
                                            "" "Couldn't protect")
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER [or a callee]: Caught
fatal error [memory may be damaged]

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

---------

typing "describe(plot_options);" again causes a segmentation fault.

I came across this while trying to figure out why wxmaxima could not
plot the error function (erf), even though erf(x) could be evaluated
without problem.

Running "plot2d(erf(x), [x, -2, 2])" in wxmaxima causes the same error.
