The input file is probably too large for the list, so see separate
private mail message. The dir file is empty.

The segfault occurs for the following menu entry:

* autoupdate: (autoconf)autoupdate Invocation.
                                Automatic update of `configure.ac'

I don't know if I really understand the code, but shouldn't '\n' be
included in the following condition?

+  while (ptr && ptr[1] != ' ' && ptr[1] != '\t') {
+    ptr = strchr (ptr + 1, '.');
+  }
