I've installed InterViews 3.1 from agate.berkeley.edu ,
making recommended link from /usr/contrib and all seems
to be working except the `doc' program which dies after
some disk activity with "Segmentation fault, core dumped".
Other boundled programs, idraw, ibuild, alert, idemo work
as expected ( well they complain about some missing 
fonts and replace it with `fixed' ). I tried to run doc
from various directories with various uid but it didn't make
any difference. When called with nonexistent file name
it tells "Cant find file ..." and hangs , otherwise just
dumps core with Segmentation fault.  
  My system is 486 33MHz, 8MB RAM IDE Maxtor 210 MB, ET4000
with 386 0.1+58PL , XFree86-1.1 with original console driver.
  Did somebody had already such a problem? I would
appreciate suggestions.
