On Linux running on either SPARC or PPC, trying to invoke context-sensitive help (i.e. F1 key over a keyword) fails with a dialogue e.g. "Unknown error showing /forms/tapplication/initialize.html". There's no error addresses etc. on the console, the exception doesn't break the IDE.

Sounds like a bug in lhelp. Can you start lhelp standalone and check?

With the dialogue displayed, the IDE is unresponsive but lhelp is running. In that state, lhelp allows me to select a file but fails on SPARC (not tested PPC, don't believe I see this on ARM) with a bus error.

Running lhelp from a shell using gdb gives me

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Sorry about the delay getting this reported (see below).

I don't see this on x86 or ARM (Linux, not testing Windows). Seeing it on PPC but not ARM suggests that it's an endianness rather than alignment issue. I'm not yet able to test on SPARC Solaris due to the slowness of fpdoc on that combination.

The chm files are the same on all platforms.

I was assuming that (but I was going to checksum them anyway). However once the build had started I didn't want to interrupt it, my script counts the number of lines output as reassurance during long builds and I can see it's not far from complete.
