Indeed.  That is a known bug with GCL :-(
I had a fix for Axiom in one of my many local trees and I can't find
right now. To prevent Axiom from using the system-installed GCL, you
might want to add --without-gcl when configuring Axiom.

The above GCL bug is quite intriguing and curious.  I hope to have a
fix for it before 2.6.8 is shipped.

Thanks for your patience.
