make installworld fails

[Viren Patel]

Hello. I am trying to upgrade FreeBSD 5.3 and performed
the following steps on a clean install and after upgrading
sources:

Booted into single-user mode

   cd /usr/src
   make buildworld
   make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
   make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

Then rebooted the system back into single-user mode

   cd /usr/src
   make installworld

However this fails and the last few lines on screen are:

install -o root -g wheel -m 444 zzz.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8
===> etc
===> etc/sendmail
cd /usr/src/etc/../share/man; make makedb
makewhatis /usr/share/man
pid 17053 (makewhatis), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core
dumped)
*** Signal 11

Stop in /usr/src/share/man
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/etc
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src

I couldn't find a core file on the system.

Please help. Thank you.
