Cantor 17.12 crashes working with R and Sage backends and is very slow with some other ones on Arch Linux.

[Fernando de Morais]

Hello Alexander,

I've been trying to recompile Cantor for enable the debug possibilities,
but I did not succeed. I run into a GPG error that I can't solve.

So I apologize for this failure of mine.

Currently I'm using maxima-ecl 5.41.0-1 and sagemath 8.1-4.

One more time I want to thank for quick relies and support.
