Dear GAP- Forum,

it seems to me that there's a problem with wreath products:

GAP4, Version: 4.4.5 of 13-May-05, i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
gap> G := WreathProduct(CyclicGroup(3),Group((1,2,3),(4,5,6)));
<group of size 6561 with 3 generators>
gap> Gc := Image(IsomorphismPcGroup(G));
Group([ f1, f2, f3, f4, f5 ])
gap> Size(Gc);
243

Thank you for reporting this bug. The problem arises if the group H in G\wr H is not acting transitively. In this case GAP might miss some generators for the base of the product.

This will be corrected in the next bugfix, please write me privately if you want a workaround now.

Best wishes and many thanks!
