Hello all, I'd like to apologize for the hyperlinks that I seem to have sent within the terminal output in my previous mail. If you are reading your mail in a terminal or some reader which attempts to convert HTML mail to plaintext, there may be garbage inside the script - I have uploaded the correct script to the following URL: http://pastebin.ca/1953162 .
Please note that on OS X you may need to replace "seq" with "jot" as the operating system doesn't come with GNU coreutils (thanks to Dr. Dmitrii Pasechnik for pointing this out to me).

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to duplicate this error. I wrote a small test script, and with it I managed to save and load a workspace 257 times without GAP segfaulting.

Feel free to try out my script for yourself as well, though I suspect your own result will not change (unless it was caused by running out of disk space, or something). Perhaps someone from the GAP Support Group can speculate further...

It seems impossible more than 5 times as shown below. The error occurs on Linux in x86(64bit) machine, but exactly the same error occurrs in my solaris environment (GAP4, Version: 4.4.9 of 6-Nov-2006, sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc, sparc 32bit). Is the behavior by design or a bug?
