It's hard to tell what the problem is. You don't say, but I guess that the
script that you use is this one:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/docbook-to-man. 

Has the script worked before? Does it crash on other input files, or just
PX_get_majorversion.sgml? 

Maybe you'll find this link interesting:
