The outcome, after emptying my !Manuals directory, was "No help found on
'!x0A'".  This surprised me, as, even with no files in the root, the
StrongHelp manual was still right there in the temporaries.

Then I identified the manuals which contained !Pre utilities and moved
some of them back in.  The first one which caused a crash was 'CSS1'
(version 1.17, dated 2006, first ever version 2004, but the !Pre file
was dated 1999...), and the offending instruction is likely to be the
final "LDMFD R13!,{PC}^" in that file.

Absolutely no idea what we can do about this.  Embedding binary code
inside documentation files probably wasn't a good idea...
