This is not a problem with the implicit `make' stanza's. The
error:

"Cannot open the file
/home/axiom--main--1--patch-26/int/algebra/drwxr-xr-"

is apparently being generated by the make-databases function. Since
ZMOD is near the end of the list of object files that are being
loaded, it looks like some kind of memory management problem.

No `make' is not doing this. Your analysis is not correct.

This is not coming from the the wild-card expansion. This list
is not passed to the commands of this stanza. It is somehow
being generated in the make-databases program.

Is there anything "funny" in your .axiom.input file? I don't
recall seeing this message in the log before.

I am building the new axiom--main--1 right now on my debian
system, but it hasn't got to the build databases yet. I will
let you know if I get this same error.
