I ran the following and got the message "bus error":

cd /usr/local/emacs/etc/
make-docfile -o DOC-18.52.1 ../src/*.c ../lisp/*.el

I did this on an HP 9000/835 (katze.media.mit.edu) running HP-UX 3.0.
I then logged into another, similar machine (tigger.media.mit.edu),
and did

cd /katze/usr/local/emacs/etc/
make-docfile -o DOC-18.52.1 ../src/*.c ../lisp/*.el

and got the same message. The installed gnuemacs version is 18.52.1.

Katze is running a large, important job, so I suspected lack of memory
was the culprit. But running from tigger over NFS seemed to rule that
out. Katze has plenty of disk space left, so that's not it either.
