10^(10^10) takes about 3960MB of memory to hold it. If you are using a 32-bit lisp, this very likely will not fit in available memory and lisp is crashing.
I would say this is not a problem with maxima.
Marking as pending/wontfix.

thanks for the explanation. We use maxima as a service (like sage does), and therefore, the user input of such an expression makes the service crash. Is there a way to set maxima parameters to just return an error is it´s out of memory?

Agreed that this is a "won't fix" item. Closing this report accordingly.
