Subject: 23.0.60; Error when trying to get a variable help
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:48:19 -0200

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing 
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:



I've just downloaded Emacs CVS, bootstrap and installed.

When I type C-h v make-backup-files RET, I got the message:

describe-variable: Cannot open doc string file 
"/home/download/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DOC-23.0.60.2"




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
   `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/download/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
