Hello!

There seem to be a bug in makeinfo in texinfo (4.0-1)
(on a Debian pre-2.2, codename potato, i386 (Cyrix P166) machine)
in that it doesn't parse nested command correctly.
For example, in Documentation/topdocs/AUTHORS.texi (from
lilypond-1.3.5.tar.gz),

        makeinfo AUTHORS.texi

fails when parsing the following:

@item @email{pinard@@iro.umontreal.ca, Fran@,{c}ois Pinard},
    parts of Documentation/Vocab*, started internationalization stuff

with error:

AUTHORS.texi:55: Misplaced {.
AUTHORS.texi:55: Misplaced }.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/tmp/AUTHORS.info' due to errors; use
--force to preserve.

whereas "texi2dvi creates AUTHORS.dvi" perfectly.

Thanks,
