the xgap package was the guilty party causing trouble if my memory serves me right from all those years ago. It was automatically loaded too. I cannot remember how I figured it out now. xgap would not load by itself these days, if it still exists.

I have opened https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/39783. The immediate goal is to add a recent gap package. There are several points tangentially related with this PR that I wanted to share to the community:

 1. Is there a reason to do not add some other packages? Long time
    ago, I think someone told me that they may interfere with other
    sage packages, but it is not clear to me since they must be loaded
    explicitely.
 2. The compilation of gap_packages takes quite a while. Taking out
    sdh_make -j1 in spkg-install.in allows to compile in parallel each
    packages, but I wonder if there was a reason to avoid parallelism.
    In the same ideas, since there are several packages to be built,
    it could be a good idea to allow parallelism at the level of
    packages, but I do not how to do it.
 3. The third one is related with the use of gap functions. One option
    is to add more functions to gap_functions.py, but I do not know if
    adding too much functions may affect to the memory. A second
    option is to use libgap.function_factory; it is OK. My issue is
    how to pass options to gap functions. I have not found how to do
    it. In order to use libgap.eval, I do not know for example how to
    produce a gap string from a sage group.

Thanks, Enrique.
