I've recently pulled over a good portion of the X software from mit and
rebuilt and installed emacs (v18.58) and am running into some problems with
messages:  when I try to go into "info" (^H i), I get a message along the
lines of "End of file during parsing"; the describe key functions (^H k)
display what appears to be a large number of null characters.

Now I _think_ that this is described in the PROBLEMS file,..

>* Self documentation messages are garbled.

>This means that the file `etc/DOC-...' doesn't properly correspond

.. but I'm not sure if messages that appear in the main portion of the display
window is what is meant by the term "self documentation messages" or not.
Also, what is meant by "redump": delete some executable in the src
subdirectory and run "make install" again?  Which files are "the
corresponding pair", and will running "make install" already take care of
this?

I feel pretty bad about sending what is obviously a FAQ, but it's been a
long day and I'm just not parsing this text well at all.
