Well, if you remove gap-alnuth and gap-autpgrp, then it still report
problems:

yellowpig - /tmp%echo 'SaveWorkspace("./test.w");' | gap -q -b
true
true
yellowpig - /tmp%echo '?FieldByMatricesNC;' | gap -q -b -L ./test.w
#W  corrupted 'manual.six': ##W (in stream: InputTextFile(/usr/share/gap/doc/t\
ut/manual.six))

hanges/manual.six))
#W  corrupted 'manual.six': ##W (in stream: InputTextFile(/usr/share/gap/pkg/G\
APDoc/example/manual.six))

Also this seems to work with GAP 4.7.5 in jessie which has the same
patch applied.
