I got 8 replies, all agreeing that the etc/DOC file was out of sync with
the gemacs executable and that the solution was to rebuild.

Most guessed that the DOC file was out-of-date (left over from a
previous build), but in fact it was the executable that was out-of-date.
(The up-to-date executable hadn't been installed properly.)
