This mail contains a bugfix for a dangerous problem in GAP 3.4.3.
*You should apply this bugfix as soon as possible*.
The problem is that 'CharTable( "ONM5" )' does not return the table
of the 5th maximal of the O'Nan group, but the table of the 13th
maximal of the Suzuki group (both have structure (3^2:4xA6).2).

HOW TO APPLY

The problem is a dangerous problem, because it may cause a computation
to produce incorrect results without a warning. Thus the bugfix has
high priority, and we recommend that you apply it as soon as possible.

Go to the GAP directory (the directory with the 'lib/' subdirectory),
name this mail 'bugfix07.dif', and issue the command:

patch -p0 < bugfix07.dif

This workaround changes only the character table library. Thus you need
not recompile the GAP kernel.

VERSION

GAP 3.4.3.0

DESCRIPTION

'CharTable( "ONM5" )' does not return the table of the fifth maximal of
the O'Nan group, but the table of the 13th maximal of the Suzuki group
(both have structure (3^2:4xA6).2).

CORRECT BEHAVIOUR

gap> C := CharTable( "ONM5" );;
gap> Set( List( C.irreducibles, chi -> chi[1] ) );
[ 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 16, 18, 20, 40, 64, 72, 80 ]

COMMENT

Note that 'CharTable( "(3^2:4xA6).2" )' returns the table of the
13th maximal of the Suzuki group.
