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,
