Hi Charlie,

Not an internal limit. That's about TeX parsing (i.e., catcodes) of the
' char in the @settitle (or maybe the @titlepage). As if the title is
being printed in math mode.
My first suggestion is to try the current texinfo.tex
(http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo.tex). (This is nothing about
texi2dvi per se, but about texinfo.tex.) When I tried it, it seemed to
get past that point, though of course I'm missing all the subfiles and
other dependencies.
Unfortunately, I have an idea that it might be happening when a page
break occurs in the middle of a @tex environment, as you speculate, or
maybe an @math expression. In that case, probably the only way to find
it is by chopping out chapters. But I may be able to fix it even
without the failing example. I'll take a look tomorrow if still needed.
Best,
Karl
P.S. I suggest moving @contents to the beginning, where toc's belong.
P.P.S. The canonical spelling of Texinfo is "Texinfo" :).
