During the merlin nightly source bundle testing, the javadoc command failed
during the build of the JDK javadocs. An identical javadoc run did
succeed earlier
during the normal build (not from the source bundle), even though the two
runs should have been identical. A subsequent re-run of the failed javadoc
command ran properly right through the end, so the failure is sporadic.


The build log is attached, from
/net/mizu/usr/re/jdk1.4/logs/j2sdk1.4.0-build-solsparc.log

The failing command is:
