Karl, this bug will bite in more than one situation -- I fixed it by
modifying get_until_in_braces ();. (We didn't have @, when I
originally wrote makeinfo, and this function dates from then.)

Wow, that's a quick response! :-)
Yes, makeinfo handles 'Fran@,{c}ois' (translates it to 'Franc,ois')
when it is not in @email{}. I have attached my modified AUTHORS.texi
(added 'Franc@,{c}ois' outside @email) and the resulting
AUTHORS.info (makeinfo --force AUTHORS.texi) in this message.
Well, I haven't read the code for @email (added after I stopped
maintaining makeinfo and info) but it appears to me as if the argument
reader is getting confused by the comma character within the argument.
I'll check:
[ time passes while I; download 4.0 from gatekeeper... read through
the source... find the problem and fix it.
Here's a patch:
