This has happened with /handbook/ at least twice now too, and each time it's been pointed out I've built a copy locally and don't have the messed up index. Nik, is there anything in particular that causes this to happen?
I've never been able to duplicate this locally, or on any other machines I build the docs on. Perhaps it's a malloc (or equivalent) failing when the docs build on freefall, because freefall does tend to get hammered periodically.
Does the web build on freefall use the -j option to make(1) by any chance? I looked at the broken file when I first got billf's e-mail, and it looked to me like two processes were trying to write to the file simulatiously. I tried using -j locally, but everything seemed fine. However, -j combined with heavy load (which I didn't have) just might explain this phenomenon.
