Comment (by mmarco):

 What i mean is the amount of memory that the gap session can use (which is
 determined by the -o option). I have noticed that libgap handles this
 question in a different way than the classical pexpect interface.

 Before, if i run a computaqtion that took too much memory in gap, the gap
 session would eventually be killed (because it is run with the option -o
 9999G) by the system, leaving orphaned all the sage objects that
 interfaced objects in that session.

 I have noticed that with this interface it just returns an error, but the
 objects are not orphaned. This error is returned before all the system
 memory is exhausted. So i wonder how much memory is used before the error
 is issued, and how is all this handled.
