[GAP Forum] Repeating workspace save/load

[Shunsuke Tsuchioka]

Hi,

I want to ask about a possibility of
repeating workspace save and load.
It seems impossible more than 5 times as shown below.
The error occurs on Linux in  x86(64bit) machine,
but exactly the same error occurrs in my solaris environment 
(GAP4, Version: 4.4.9 of 6-Nov-2006, sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc, sparc 32bit).
Is the behavior by design or a bug?

Sincerely,
Shunsuke Tsuchioka
