xgettext core dumps on gnome-libs

[Dan Newcombe <Newcombe mordor clayton edu>]

I just pulled everything fresh out of CVS, compiled glib, gtk+, and ORBit
just fine.  I moved on the gnome-libs and it was complaning about not
finding AM_GNU_GETTEXT.  I had gettext v0.10 on my system.  I found the
source for v0.10.35, compiled and installed it, and ran autogen and then
make.  This is what I get on my HP-UX 10.20 system:

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/cerebus/2inst/t/gnome-libs'
Making all in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/cerebus/2inst/t/gnome-libs/po'
PATH=../src:$PATH /opt/gnu/bin/xgettext --default-domain=gnome-libs
--directory=.. \
  --add-comments --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ \
  --files-from=./POTFILES.in \
&& test ! -f gnome-libs.po \
   || ( rm -f ./gnome-libs.pot \
        && mv gnome-libs.po ./gnome-libs.pot )
/bin/sh: 18354 Memory fault(coredump)

GDB says:
#0 0xd894 in read_name_from_file (file_name=0x40003a78 "") at xgettext.c:637
637           if (*line_buf == '\0' || *line_buf == '#')
(gdb) bt

I'm at a loss.
