[GAP Forum] Fwd: GAP crashes when reading a syntax error

[kroeker]

GAP closes due to an assertion failure in read.c:1197, but I didn't 
investigate further.

Dear GAP forum,

I'm running GAP 4.5.5 on Ubuntu 12.04.  When I read a file into GAP with the following contents:

f:=function()
local k;
for k in [1] do Print(k));od;
end;

GAP unexpectedly closes.  (This happens on both my machines.)  Of course, there is a syntax error in the third line, but it's surprising to me that this causes GAP to crash.  Is this a problem with GAP, or have I got something set up badly?
