Strangely enough, I can’t reproduce that on the same architecture with
the same versions.

The contents of this string is corrupt. The piece with the ':' that
strchr is looking for has been replaced.

I can still see a bug on my system though, since at this exact place
yelp displays an incorrect link.

If you can still reproduce that, and you know how to use the debugger,
I’d be interested in:
      * whether the same text is also corrupt in *current_real
      * if so, whether it is corrupt in *current
      * if so, whether it is corrupt in content

Cheers,
