Problems building docs from CVS

I tried building the documentation with "make pdf", and got a long list
of warnings on "lib" (hbox, vbox, and reference warnings), ending with a TeX error:
LaTeX Warning: Reference `module-cookielib' on page 512 undefined on input line
 73.

[512]) (/usr/src/cvs-src/python/dist/src/Doc/lib/libxmlrpclib.tex [513]
Overfull \vbox (118.57pt too high) has occurred while \output is active
[514]
Overfull \hbox (66.62143pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 56--69
 [] 
[515] [516] [517]
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500].
\font at name ->
             \OT1/phv/m/n/10 
l.259 ...//www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader\$1208}
                                                  , an approach
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!

I got another fatal error building dist.pdf, this one a Python traceback:

This is on a recently update'd anoncvs copy of HEAD.  My FC2 machine has
the following possibly-relevant packages installed:
