I just installed the latest silver version from
http://www.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/download.html
on my ubuntu system and I tried to do some computation.
While axiom was working, after maybe 10-20 minutes, the
system crashed (very) badly, like just unplugging the power.
The same happened the second time I tried.
I didn't try a third time...
Computations involved computing a groebner basis for
174 equations with 25 variable: am I asking to much from the
system?
If needed, I can post the input file.
