What were you trying to do?
	Run the command "/usr/sipb/rtbin/rcbook.t
	/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipbsrc/src/lib/recipes" to generate
	a PostScript copy of the alt.gourmand cookbook.  The program
	is a shell script, so you can look at it to find out what it
	does -- it's pretty obvious.  The last thing it does is calls
	psroff on all the files in the recipes directory.

What's wrong:
	Psroff core-dumped on me:

		/usr/athena/psroff: 28017 Memory fault - core dumped

	I believe that the core dump is actually from troff.  I
	attempted to get a stack trace by looking in the directory
	/minos/source/4.3/usr.bin/troff for the unstripped troff
	binary, but it isn't there.  I would appreciate a mail message
	telling me where it is....

What should have happened:
	Psroff/troff should not core dump.
