Re: makeinfo segmentation fault on OS X

    Debugging C is not my forte, but if you tell me something specific to
    try I'll be glad to help.

Thanks.  For the segmentation faults: run makeinfo under gdb (or
whatever debugger).  Execute the command line that causes the seg fault.
When it crashes, get a backtrace and see where you are.

If we're lucky, it'll be some obvious array indexing problem or null
pointer dereference.

If we're not lucky, it'll be in malloc/free.

Oh, the binary will have to be compiled with -g (and preferably without -O).
But you probably already knew that.


For the css file problem, let's wait on that until I can fix the error
message in the original source.  That might make the problem obvious
without further recourse.


Thanks,
karl
