Probably because I tried after "cvs up", which caught Pavel's latest
changes that fixed the problem.

No, it's used by all versions.

This _does_ seem Windows-specific, because I cannot reproduce it, and 
also because another user of the Windows version reported a similar 
problem with what looked like a perfectly valid DOC file.

Is it possible that the change in the way doc strings are put in C files 
confuses the Windows port, either the make-docfile program or Emacs 
itself?
