Description

This was submitted to support@gap-system.org by Bill Allombert:

While running the GAP test suite for GAP 4r8p3 on the Debian port
machines, I found that the test pperm.tst fails on all big endian
systems:

testing: ./tst/testinstall/pperm.tst
########> Diff in ./tst/testinstall/pperm.tst, line 1572:
# Input is:
f*g^-1=f/g;
# Expected output:
true
# But found:
false
########
########> Diff in ./tst/testinstall/pperm.tst, line 1576:
# Input is:
f/g=f*g^-1;
# Expected output:
true
# But found:
false

@james-d-mitchell I suspect that you're making assumptions about byte ordering in pperm.c?
