Hi Marek,

Once gap has emerged I want you to try the following command:
/usr/libexec/gap/gap -m 32m -l /usr/share/gap -r -b -p -T -o 3900m 
/opt/sage/data//extcode/gap/sage.g

It looks like the problem may be that sage is trying to use gap with
too much memory for your computer. It tries to use the settings
for a 64bits set up - whether or not you have one, let's see what 
happens with the 32bits set up.
If you still get the message about extending the workspace, could 
you also try "-m 8m" and may be "-o 1024" or something.
