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

[Rorzik]

It's very clear that the /usr/lib/maxima/5.17.1/binary-gcl/maxima from
the Debian binary works, while the one from the Ubuntu binary does not
(I can copy just this file from one package or the other, do sqrt(4),
and the error only shows up with the Ubuntu one).  I compared the source
packages from both Debian and Ubuntu, with all patches, and all
meaningful files are completely identical.  I believe the difference may
be with the compile options, since nothing else appears different
between the two.  From looking at the binary, I can tell that the Ubuntu
one was compiled with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, while the Debian one was
compiled without this (-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0).

Unfortunately, gcl keeps segfaulting when I try to compile maxima, so I
am unable to test whether this compile flag change would fix the
problem.  Perhaps someone else can get the compile to work and test
this.
