Hi,
 
we are using texinfo 4.0 (using the newest texinfo.tex file dating from
1999-10-01.07) for editing a interface specification.
 
Generally it works great, but there remains one problem which is
possibly a bug in texinfo:
 
- many of our '@node' names contain an underscore ('_') as part of a
  function name
  An example node-line in our docmuent looks like this:

  @node vs_lm_get, vs_lm_set, vs_lm_default, up
 
- AFAIK using underscores in node-names is valid in texinfo

One of our output formats is PDF, which we create using pdftex V0.13d.

Using '@xref' we create a lot of crossreferences in our document,
pointing e.g. to node-names with embedded underscores.

The resulting PDF-file loads fine in Acrobat Reader 4.0, all xrefs look
like links and the pointer changes from 'hand' to 'finger' - only these
links don't work :(

I tracked the problem down in creating a small texinfo-file (since our
original document contains already 400+ pages) using a node
with 'underscore'. Until now I couldn't find any wokaround for this bug.

Any hint and help will be appreciated.

Michael
