I recompiled fpdoc with debug information.  It gave me a bit more
detail, but not much to go on....

I then tried with only a subset of my units and I started having
success.  In the end I found there is one unit causing the issue.
'tiutils.pas'. Remove that from the fpdoc parameter list and it works
fine.

Maybe some formatting has changed or it uses a feature of fpdoc which
is not well tested. I have no idea really.  I'll go through the
tiutils.xml file to see if I can spot something obvious. I'm also
going to generate a new skeleton tiutils.xml with makeskel to see what
it does. I'll report back.
