Thanks Glenn,

Unfortunately, it looks like 052f924a01f8a65ca0bfc9e6584302613e019489 is
bad. This commit seems to be older than 24.3 (emacs has a dev versioning
convention that I don't understand). Is there another root that I could
go back to? The point at which 24.3 and 24.4 have in common?

I'll try it a couple of more times. It could be a random failure.

Once I track down the offending commit, I'll see if I can guess what the
problem is and make a minimal test. I suspect it has something to do
with process handling. At the moment, building the emacs docs every
commit is the bottleneck, not my test. Is there any way to build/install
without the docs (or compiling the .elc files).
