Thanks both of you for responding.  My apologies: my original posting,
which had the necessary information, got truncated.

I am using emacs 23.2.1 from Debian testing.  apropos-do-all is t.  The
error occurs regardless of what I pass to apropos-documentation,
interactively typically; e.g.

   C-h d .*documentation.* RET

gives the error as does any string really, whether a regex or not.

I will report a bug if nobody can suggest anything that can alleviate
this problem.  Or I may try to install one of the 24.x snapshots, I
guess.

Thanks,
eric
