Package: axiom
Version: 20120501-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

   * What led up to the situation?

     Just testing the basic functions.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     Tried to do a basic 3D plotting example using the Axiom help browser
(Basic Commands > Draw > A parametrically defined surface > Continue > Do It).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     A buffer overflow crash (caught by axiom system however).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     A three-dimensional plot should have appeared.

Basically this makes plotting 3D plot impossible, which largely renders this
package unusable for many users. It's a rather big package too, taking up
almost a gig, so there's no sense is wasting a large amount of space on
people's hard drives.
