Comment (by dimpase):

 Replying to [comment:191 vbraun]:
 > If you don't specify '-o' then gap will just chose a pool size for you.
 The virtual memory pool address space can't be changed after GAP has
 started. The actual memory used can expand and contract. Of course the
 actual memory used is bounded by the pool size.

 OK. Still, what about limiting the suggested_size to something (say,
 500MB) - I agree that 150MB I suggested above is on a low side.

 Anyway, we should put somewhere in the documentation a remark that by
 default such-and-such max amount is allocated, but if you need more, then
 do {{{set_gap_memory_pool_size()}}} before doing any GAP stuff.

 By the way, can one terminate, from Sage, all the running GAP
 subprocesses?
