Summary: Empty genindex.html pages

Initial Comment:
When building the html docs, empty index pages are 
generated.

$ ls -l html/*/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko         3341 Jul 26 11:53 
html/api/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko         3433 Jul 26 11:59 
html/lib/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko         3436 Jul 26 12:00 
html/mac/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko         3322 Jul 26 12:00 
html/ref/genindex.html

compared to 2.1.3, built with texinfo-4.1:

$ ls -l html/*/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko        51726 Jul 26 11:42 
html/api/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko       310251 Jul 26 11:47 
html/lib/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko        28449 Jul 26 11:48 
html/mac/genindex.html
-rw-r--r--    1 doko     doko        73766 Jul 26 11:48 
html/ref/genindex.html

building the 2.1.3 docs with texinfo-4.2 fails as well. For 
2.2.1 and current CVS the empty files are generated 
independent of the texinfo version.

An account on a build environment can be provided 
(Debian 3.0).

Submitter reported by email that he can no longer reproduce
the problem since his OS (Debian) updated to Perl 5.8. 
Since I could never reproduce this even with Perl 5.6.0, I'm
closing this a no-longer relevant historical mystery.

Attached is the build log. The patches applied are mostly
patches for Debian specific file locations and build hints.
The default python version is 2.1.3, however the make for
the Doc dir is called with PYTHON=<newly_built_python>.

perl is 5.6.1
latex2html is 2000-beta1

Please provide a detailed list of steps you took from a
clean checkout.  If you can provide a typescript (using the
"script" command at your shell), I'd appreciate it.  Version
numbers for LaTeX2HTML, the installed version of Python, and
Perl would be helpful.

Just rechecked. The problem is still there (trying to
generate the documentation for today's CVS).

This problem appears to have disappeared in the development
versions of the documentation at some point since the report
was filed.

If you see this only on documentation you generate rather
than the standarad documentation from python.org, please let
me know.
