okay, i can't reproduce so let's get some more information. what version
of texinfo do you have installed, and can you run texi2dvi without a problem
?

Okay, after some further investigation I can reproduce this with =texinfo-4.6
installed. The problem is due to a change in the texi2dvi shell script introduced
in 4.6, which unfortunately, winds up leaving the ebuild sitting in the TeX
interpreter. (A trick is to type \end <enter> when it's halted).

Should be fixed in portage.
