I'm currently playing around with some polynomials that appear in a
doubly-recursive relation (I may post details about it if I get too
frustrated).  I have been using Maple, but it is running out of swap
space.

Is there a package out there that will allow me to operate on polynomials
with rational coefficients without exceeding system limits?  I need some
degree of programmability (a simple language or an interface to C, Lisp,
Prolog, etc.) to compute the recursive relation, and ideally, something
that collects terms in a sensible manner (but I can make Maple do that
if necessary).

Thanks.

(Or if someone is running a symbolic math package on a *huge* system
with cycles to burn, I can give you more details and you can run it! :-)
