It occurs also in Karmic, package maxima 5.17.1-1ubuntu1. How to reproduce:

(%i1) atan(x);
Universal error handler called recursively (:ERROR NIL
                                                  CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER
                                                  ""
                                                  "Couldn't protect")
Universal error handler called recursively (:ERROR NIL
                                            CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER
                                            "" "Couldn't protect")
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER [or a callee]: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
(%i2) atan(x);
Segmentation fault

In this way maxima it's quite unusable.
