In response to your message I just fetched doc.dtx off ctan

there is no occurence of |gdef|g but one of  |gdef|@gtempa

I got:
* Checksum passed *

This is using
Package: doc 1999/03/25 v2.0h Standard LaTeX documentation package (FMi)

which version do you have?

time when files were usually transmitted by mail, and mail gateways had
a habit of turning \ into % and { into space and other horrors that I
now try to forget.....
