[GAP Forum] GAP crashes when reading a syntax error

[Attila Egri-Nagy]

Same on my machines (all Ubuntu). I experienced this problem many
times, but never time to investigate it. I concluded that I should not
make syntactic mistakes.. :)

I wonder this is a special Ubuntu thing? Anyone else having this problem?
