Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Following testing...
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to launch maxima (in a gnome terminal) :
charpent@SAP5057241:~$ maxima
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in INITIALIZE-RUNTIME-GLOBALS [or a callee]: Cannot open the file
/usr/share/doc/maxima/info/./maxima-index.lisp.
Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
Error in CL-INFO::LOAD-PRIMARY-INDEX [or a callee]: The tag RETURN-FROM-
DEBUGGER is undefined.
Fast links are on: do (use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Broken at CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER. Type :H for Help.
1 (Continue) Retry loading file "/usr/share/doc/maxima/info/./maxima-
index.lisp".
2 Maxima top-level
3 (Abort) Return to top level.
dbl:MAXIMA>>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* What was the outcome of this action?
At this point, any attempt to get back to the toplevel results in another break
:

The only way out I found was to killall maxima from another rerminal
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A working maxima :-)...
I *think* that the problem might be lisp-related. Maxima is currently compiled
wit gcl in Debian ; the Sage team has standardized on ECL, which, apparently,
gives better performance. Time to reconsider ? Or better, to have a multi-lisp
solution ?
