Dxbook thrashing X server

Dear Managers,

I have a problem with dxbook when attempting to read the DXML documentation,
specifically the "Digital Extended Math Library for DEC OSF/1 AXP Reference Manual",
dyeyaa13.decw_book. The effect is that the X server goes into a loop using
100% CPU time, effectively hanging the session is I try to page through
chapter 13 by topic. Other books seem to be OK. This happens on our
3000/400 running DU 3.2A, the 5/255 running DU 3.2C displaying on the
3000/400 OR Sun machines running X11R5, openwin 3.0 or the Soparis 2.5
DPS server.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Is it a bug in dxbook? Is that
particular file corrupt? [If anyone cares to check, it's checksum is
23818 2090 /usr/lib/dxbook/LAYER/dyeyaa13.decw_book]

Any help gratefully recieved.

Keith Refson
