Dear Bernhard, dear Forum, this problem is new in GAP 4.10.0, I hope it will disappear in the next GAP version.
As a temporary remedy, I propose either not to use GAP 4.10.0 or to read the following piece of code into the GAP session after startup. InstallMethod( GroupByGenerators, [ IsGroup, IsMultiplicativeElementWithInverse ], function( G, id ) return GroupWithGenerators( GeneratorsOfGroup( G ), id ); end ); I am sorry for the inconveniences.
