Some more update: "-p" is at fault here, but that startup option isn't documented in the GAP help, so I have started looking at the source code what it is exactly supposed to do.
Either way, if you look at interfaces/gap.py in def _execute_line(self, line, wait_for_prompt=True, expect_eof=False): you will see that the info created by "-p" is used and given the interface to GAP was written by Steve Linton (who is one of the current GAP maintainers) I am sure that it is done so for a good reason. So, what is the fix then? Likely an adjustment to the pexepct interface for GAP, but so far I have little lead what to do here. Other people will hopefully have a shorter learning cure for that code.
