Loosing my mind with indexes...

[Akim Demaille]

I'm dead lost :(  I don't understand at all what happens...  All I can
tell you is that it is with texinfo.tex as included in the tarball
below.

texinfo-tex-problem.tgz
Description: GNU Unix tar archive

I was trying to submit a bug report for some weird behavior, and as I
meant to strip the example down, I only managed to get more and more
weird behavior.

Anyway.  Run make in the tarball below, and see that the content of
the second chapter is just ignored (autotest.texi).  Another problem I
face is that if I inline autotest.texi in gnuprog2.texi then TeX just
hangs...  Something like:

/tmp/texinfo-tex-problem % make
texi2dvi -c gnuprog2.texi
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
(/tmp/texinfo-tex-problem/gnuprog2.texi
(/tmp/texinfo-tex-problem/texinfo.tex
Loading texinfo [version 2002-01-04.07]: Basics, pdf, fonts, page headings,
tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros,
cross references, (/home/akim/tex/sty/epsf.tex) localization,
and turning on texinfo input format.)
