Same problem here on 32bit 8.04.2. Unfortunately:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yelp
will result in responses to bugs like this from 223918:

"Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been
reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find."

Note that in About Help it shows a nonexistent package name:
Help 2.22.1
It's actually Yelp 2.22.1
