inconsistent behavior of M-x info

[Joe Corneli]

I renamed the *info* buffer as `wisent' because I wanted to browse
the wisent info pages and compare them with the bison info pages.

Then I typed M-x info, and instead of making a new *info* buffer,
the info `dir' file appeared inside my `wisent' buffer.

This is inconsistent with the behavior of e.g. M-x shell, M-x
run-clisp (my wrapper for `inferior-lisp').  So I think it would be
better to make a new *info* buffer for the info `dir' under the
circumstances I've described!
