texinfo-4.0: Crashes on Red Hat 6.1 system

[Horst von Brand]

Yes, I just tried with the stock texinfo version from GNU, compiled with -g
using gcc-2.95.2. The same problem happens when compiled with egcs-1.1.2-24
or egcs-20000221; and also for the RH texinfo versions 4.0-4 and
3.12h-2. Problem turned out to be a leftover dir.info file which ends just
after the "* Menu:" line, with an existing (and correct) dir file.

A backtrace shows a SEGV in search.c:417 (skip_node_separator), called with
a bad body from nodes.c:117 (info_node_of_file_tags). I looked at
that function, but couldn't understand what it is trying to do.
