Hi
I am running 4.2-STABLE.
I decided to cvsup the source tree today and make world but hit a big
snag. I therefore beg to take this chance to seek your advise/help on
regaining the system.

When I do make buildworld I end up with gibberish and this error:

/usr/bin/tbl: 104: Syntax error: ";" unexpected
groff: troff: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
*** Error code 3

..And I get this message so many times on the console..

signal 11 (core dumped)
Jan  2 20:36:59 alouette /kernel: pid 56297 (troff), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)


I've not changed any config in the system and I've done make
build/installworld before without any problems.

Could someone kindly advise me on what the cause of this could be? Is
there something I have to do? On top of this, I cannot access any man
pages anymore. Any attempt to man some command either just beeps and gives
gibberish or gives an empty screen.

alouette# uname -a
FreeBSD alouette.iconnect.co.ke 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Sat Dec
23 13:14:01 EAT 2000 wash@alouette.iconnect.co.ke:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ALOUETTE  i
386


I've even manually deleted /usr/obj and tried redoing make buildworld and
still end up at the same place with so many beeps, gibberish then the
error above.


 All help appreciated.
