Problem with building PDF documentation

Indeed - I tried to reproduce it locally, but failed.  My system has an 
older version pdftex installed (...-1.40.15) so that is probably the reason.

Unfortunately those logs do not show what is wrong.  They show that the 
generation has failed, but not *why* it has failed.  Would it be 
possible for you to run the texi2dvi command locally with either--debug 
or --verbose added to the command line to see if this helps pinpoint 
exacltly what is wrong ?

Unfortunately there appears to have been quite a few changes to the 
documentation between then and now.  IS there any chance that you could 
do a bit of binary chopping and narrow down the window a bit ?
