Dear Forum!

When I try to construct semidirect product GL_2(9)*GF(9)^2, it returns a group with GF(3)^2 as a normal subgroup (see the listing below).

gap> V:=GF(9)^2;
( GF(3^2)^2 )
gap> G:=GeneralLinearGroup(2,9);
GL(2,9)
gap> p:=SemidirectProduct(G,V);
<matrix group of size 466560 with 3 generators>
gap> L:=Image(Embedding(p,1));
Group(
[ [ [ Z(3^2), 0*Z(3), 0*Z(3) ], [ 0*Z(3), Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3) ], [ 0*Z(3), 0*Z(3),
          Z(3)^0 ] ],
 [ [ Z(3), Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3) ], [ Z(3), 0*Z(3), 0*Z(3) ], [ 0*Z(3), 0*Z(3),
          Z(3)^0 ] ] ])
gap> U:=Image(Embedding(p,2));
Group(
[ [ [ Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3), 0*Z(3) ], [ 0*Z(3), Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3) ], [ Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3),
          Z(3)^0 ] ],
 [ [ Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3), 0*Z(3) ], [ 0*Z(3), Z(3)^0, 0*Z(3) ],
     [ 0*Z(3), Z(3)^0, Z(3)^0 ] ] ])
gap> Order(U);
9

Can anybody explain, what is wrong here?
