 Propably not indeed.

 Not only other languages, it wouldn't make the cron run hang. Currently
I see as only posibility to disable the building of the release-notes
all together. I found four hanging cron jobs that all did hang in
"xmlroff --backend gp -o zh_TW/release-notes.sparc.pdf zh_TW/release-notes.sparc.fo"
and didn't finish even after days.

 Sorry, the rest of the build didn't succeed because of this issue so I
currently don't see a different approach than to disable it.

 Feel free to bug me to enable it again if you feel confident that the
problem has been fixed or you have an idea what's needed.

 Thanks,
Rhonda
