Please find attached a tarball that demonstrates the failure of install-info under LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 to write a proper dir file.
install-info-bug.tar.gz
Description: Binary data
It looks like there are three problems: the newly created dir file is missing the 0x1F byte; the foo.info entry is missing; these failures are undetected and install-info exits successfully anyway.
This install-info is from GNU Texinfo 5.1. -- Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502
