Correct bug in the object file output code leading to stack corruption
It turns out leaving a pointer to a stack allocated temporary in a
persistent data structure is not conducive to correct program operation.
Undo the export check setup in the object file output sequence so a
pointer to stack allocated memory is not left hanging when the function
returns. This seems to correct at least one mysterious crash bug, and
possibly others.
Thanks to Boisy Pitre for reporting the crash bug that led to this
discovery, as well as a previous crash bug that likely has the same
root cause.
Additional thanks to Ciaran Anscomb whose debugger wielding wizardry
revealed the exact location of this particular bit of unbrilliance.

If there are no html files in the "manual" directory and there is no "manual.html" file, it means that you have either checked out the source repository on a non-release branch or the packager messed up. In either case, if you have "docbook2html" installed, you should be able to build the manual with one of the following: docbook2html -o manual manual.docbook.sgml or docbook2html -u manual.docbook.sgml && mv manual.docbook.html manual/manual.html PDF can be generated by doing: docbook2pdf -u manual.docbook.sgml && mv manual.docbook.pdf manual/manual.pdf
