Doug Smythies, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, the mainline kernel is not a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Quoting from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Kernel.2BAC8-FAQ.2BAC8-DebuggingMainlineBuildsSupport.Does_the_kernel_team_support_the_mainline_kernel_builds.3F :
"The mainline kernels builds are produced for debugging purposes and therefore come with no support. Use them at your own risk."

Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your
particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software
package. Thanks!

Ubuntu, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories

Title:
  With Kernel 3.11RC6 Ubuntu servguide PDF compile crashes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I often run the current release candidate (RC) on a 12.04 server computer.
  When compiling any non-english PDF version of the Ubuntu server guide, one of the programs crashes (and creates a log, which I will attach shortly, but summary below). While it has been a very long time since I tried to compile a non-english PDF serverguide, I did more work to narrow down the issue:

  Kernel: Ubuntu 3.11 RC5 = No Problem (actually, all tested kernels <= 3.11 RC5)
  Kernel: Kernel.org 3.11 RC5 = No Problem
  Kernel: Ubuntu 3.11 RC6 = Problem
  Kernel: Kernel.org 3.11 RC6 = Problem
