bug#1214: 23.0.60; Error when trying to get a variable help

[Vinicius Jose Latorre <viniciusjl@ig.com.br>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing 
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:



I've just downloaded Emacs CVS, bootstrap and installed.

When I type C-h v make-backup-files RET, I got the message:

describe-variable: Cannot open doc string file 
"/home/download/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DOC-23.0.60.2"




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/download/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
