What's wrong:

        /usr/athena/bin/help: 545 Memory fault - core dumped----------------------------------------------------
        Program /usr/athena/bin/olh_motif exited with an error.
        Please type help -tty to use the text version of On-Line Help.

        % dbx /afs/rel-eng.athena.mit.edu/project/release/7.4/build/pmax_ul4/athena/athena.bin/olh/motif/olh_motif core.olh_motif
        dbx version 2.10.1
        Type 'help' for help.

        (dbx)

        The coredump is reproducible with the argument "@doc:GA_list".
        olh_motif does start up successfully if I invoke it, for example,
        with "help", or "help @zephyr:main_menu".

What should have happened:

        It shouldn't have dumped core.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
