"I opened Yelp from the System menu, then selected Advanced Topics, then GNU Info Pages, then GSL, then Gsl-ref. I don't have the gsl-ref-html package installed currently. Yelp works hard on the CPU for a bit, then crashes with the details attached. I reproduced this twice on my system."

... and a more recent version of the patches is at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.documentation.devel/541

Note this seems to be the same bug as #533718

Rupert, were these patches pushed? I think I missed some of your info work in 3.0.

Nope, I don't think so. There's a bit more of a spiel in the cover email with the patch series. Is gnome doc devel the right place to be sending that sort of mail? I note that I'm the author for the last forty or so messages. It does feel a tad like screaming into the void... :-)
