Looks like this version of Maxima has a prepared core file for SBCL 1.0.50
and is trying to load it in 1.0.51.

Hm, very strange.

I have the same Maxima hash, and it works...

Even more, I run the same expanded command and it still works

Fresh Maxima does work for me on x86-64 arch.

Could you please search 1[.]0[.]..[.]nixos in the core file?

I wonder what version it is for and how it got built..
