Which OS (in case of Linux which distribution) do you use?  And do you
use self compiled gcl or one provided with your system?

I belive that this is bug in the gcl version you use.  I have seen this
problem on Gentoo, see:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183544

When I build my own gcl from sources (on the same Gentoo machine) it
worked fine.

PS:  In general you should report FriCAS problems on fricas-devel
mailing list.  I send this message also to axiom-devel because the
problem may affect all Axiom derivatives.
