Mmm, this happened already with ocaml-doc, and i think it was due to the
old database (local on the box) not being updated. I suppose the box you
tested with has been around since a long time, maybe you even upgraded
it from a slink box ? Anyway, i think there is mail in the d-o-m mailing
list archive about this problem as related to ocaml-doc.
