DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1. A stabilized flame-retardant polymer composition comprising a normally combustible styrenic polymer, about 2-15 phr antimony trioxide, about 4-30 phr of a bromine-containing flame retardant agent, and about 0. 5-3. 0 phr of a stabilizing composition comprising: about 50-80% of a dialkyltin maleate of the formula ##STR6## where R is a C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl radical; about 5-15% of a hindered phenolic antioxidant; and about 5-45% of a member selected from the group consisting of an anhydride of a cyclic dicarboxylic acid, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl ester derivatives thereof, imide derivatives thereof, polymeric esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, poly(alkene-vinyl acetate) copolymers, and poly(diallylphthalate), by weight of the stabilizing composition. 2. A stabilized flame-retardant polymer composition, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the styrenic polymer is an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and the flame-retardant agent is tetrabromobisphenol-A. 3. A stabilized flame-retardant polymer composition, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said styrenic polymer is polystyrene. 4. A stabilized flame-retardant polymer composition, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said dialkyltin maleate is dibutyltin maleate. 5. A stabilized retardant polymer composition, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antioxidant is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol. 6. A stabilized flame-retardant polymer composition, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the member is tetrahydrophthalic anhydride. 7. A stabilized flame-retardant additive composition comprising a bromine-containing flame-retardant agent and about 1-60 parts per hundred parts of the flame-retardant agent of a stabilizing composition comprising: about 50-80% of a dialkyltin maleate of the formula ##STR7## where R is a C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl radical; about 5-15% of a hindered phenolic antioxidant; and about 5-45% of a member selected from the group consisting of an anhydride of a cyclic carboxylic acid, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl ester derivatives thereof, imide derivatives thereof; polymeric esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, poly(alkene-vinyl acetate) copolymers, and poly(diallyl phthalate), by weight of the stabilizing composition
