Dear Forum,

I upgraded from p11 to p12, and then applied the recommended tests:
gap> ReadTest(Filename(DirectoriesLibrary("tst"), "bugfix.tst"));
[snip]
The problem is that
AtlasGenerators( "HS", 1, 4 )
fails (returns 'fail').
This is probably harmless. When the command 'AtlasGenerators( "HS",
1, 4 );'
is called for the first time, it tries to download the corresponding
group
generators from a server in London. (When successful, the result is
cached
in local files, and you don't need the online access if you use the
same
command again.)
I guess that when you made the test as described, your computer was
not
online, or the access to the server in London didn't work at that
moment.
Thanks for your reply and explanation.
This does not seem to be the problem, though. I got the failure above
on my home system, which is always connected to the internet, and the
failures were repeatable.
Just now, from my laptop (I'm away from home), I upgraded to p12 (from
p10), and ran the test. I got no failure. I then logged into my home
system, and ran the test again, several times. Each time I got this
failure. I then ran the test on both systems at the "same" time. I
got the <rec> error on my home system, but not on my laptop.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Justin
