Package: texinfo
Version: 4.7-2.2
Severity: important
The following commandline causes makeinfo to crash:
% makeinfo --xml -Dblahblah /dev/null
zsh: 3378 segmentation fault makeinfo --xml -Dblahblah /dev/null
%
Here is the gdb backtrace in debug mode:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0806ace8 in xstrdup (string=0x0) at xstrdup.c:32
32 return strcpy (xmalloc (strlen (string) + 1), string);

Line 3927 seems very strange to me, since input_filename is also
left in an invalid state after the function returns.
