Description:   Opened: 2007-11-09 10:37 0000 
texinfo-4.11 mangles the directory entries of Info files. For example, vm.info
(from app-emacs/vm-8.0.5.504) now starts as follows:

| INFO-DIR-SECTION Emacs
| START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
| This is vm.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from vm.texinfo.
|
| * VM: (vm).                             A mail reader.
| END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
|    This file documents the VM mail reader.

while with texinfo-4.8-r5 it was:

| This is vm.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.8 from vm.texinfo.
|
| INFO-DIR-SECTION Emacs
| START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
| * VM: (vm).                             A mail reader.
| END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
|    This file documents the VM mail reader.

install-info then includes it in the "dir" file, and info will finally display
the following:

* VM: (vm).                             A mail reader.
This is vm.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from vm.texinfo.
