+ Applies to 8.04 and 7.10
  
  Install glibc-doc
  Start yelp
  
  Select Advanced Topics->GNU Info Pages->Software Libraries->Libc
  
  This will cause a crash and an error:
  **
  ** Yelp:ERROR:(yelp-document.c:217):yelp_document_get_page: assertion failed: 
(document != NULL && YELP_IS_DOCUMENT (document))
  Aborted (core dumped)
  
  This can also happen when clicking on some other Info node and clicking
  on hyperlinks inside of yelp info viewer plugin (although the glibc node
  is more likely to crash - probably due to its size).  It seems that the
  lower position in the list of yelp GNU-Info topic, the greater
  likelihood of a crash.  Once a crashing node is found, all the nodes
  below it will also crash.  So it is like a snowball effect where one bad
  apple spoils everything below it.
