Hi,
The stacktrace seems to be some problem in some doc-base files. I have
made dhelp more robust to that, and now it handles those without complaining.
I have just uploaded 0.6.10 fixing that.
However, I'm not sure that's the problem you're experiencing. What is
happening there is that when you register some documentation in dhelp, it
indexes the contents so you can search for it. In some cases that can mean
indexing a lot of documentation (in some upgrade with many packages, where
install-docs calls dhelp_parse with many packages at once). So it's expected
behaviour that many index++ processes are spawned.
Of course, one might argue that in those cases you prefer not indexing at
all, or maybe indexing in the background, but I'm not completely sure how to
handle the situation. Maybe only index when registering a single document?
Maybe disable the indexing on install completely, and only index weekly? I
don't like that very much because it means that when you install some package,
you can't search for its documentation until the next week (and I guess you're
likely to want to search for the documentation of a package a couple of days
after installing it).
I'm open to suggestions :-)
