This is a misprint in a stored list of automorphism group orders: The list for 
sporadic groups with automorphism group of order 2 lists “HJ” instead of the 
consistent  “J2” (as which the group is recognized) and thus the automorphism 
group routine does not realize there is an automorphism to be looked for. This 
will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you for reporting the error,
