Comment (by leif):

 The libGAP discussion IMHO belongs to another ticket (and is IMHO pretty
 irrelevant at this point).  Dima mentioned the GAP developers seem to be
 working on a new memory manager, probably also because the current one is
 unsuitable for a library, at least when used together with other libraries
 or memory managers.

 Would it make sense to use a different pool size for doctesting (i.e., a
 close[r]-to-minimal one)?

 [[BR]]

 I still believe the current implementation will prevent GAP from working
 if the RAM is filled up with buffers and caches (and there's no or "not
 enough" swap space), which to me doesn't seem to be too untypical.
 Haven't tried yet though.
