@value macro investigation

[Graham Percival]

John, can I make one final check with you before I report this
as a texinfo bug?  Just out of interest, could anybody else with texinfo
4.11 check this as well?  I'm trying to track down the @value{} failure.


tsubasa:~/tmp gperciva$ more foo.texi 
\input texinfo
@node Top

Texinfo text

This version is @value{ver}.

@bye

I've switched from tetex to texlive, with no change.
