Does the following change fix this?

texinfo 4.3c pretest available

[karl]

*
Hello Texinfo friends,

I've released texinfo pretest 4.3c to (gzip):
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tar.gz
  http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.gz
and (bzip2):
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tar.bz2
  http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.bz2

This is mostly fixing bugs since 4.3.  

I hope to release texinfo 4.4 late next week, so that it can be
incorporated in the next teTeX release.  So, please test if you can and
let me know if problems.  (In this pretest, there are some
underfull/overfull hboxes in the manual which I'll clean up before the
release.)

By the way, for anyone who's not on [EMAIL PROTECTED] now and
would like to be, just email me (or [EMAIL PROTECTED],
same thing :).

Thanks,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

P.S. I'll be away this weekend, but will be back on Monday.

* Language:
  . @value constructs are now expanded in the filename arguments to
@include and @verbatiminclude.
  . @smallexample and the like now output in a smaller font (9pt) in all
paper formats, not just @smallbook and @afourpaper.
* makeinfo:
  . bug fix: @copying text is now reflected in tag table positions;
before, nodes may not have been found with a long-enough @copying.
  . bug fix: html @verb arg is quoted properly, and does not imply
a paragraph break.
* texinfo.tex:
  . new translation txi-tr.tex.
  . bug fix: <>| and other characters do not disappear when they are
first on a line in @verbatim.
* install-info:
  . bug fix: don't translate the `* Menu' info keyword.
* info:
  . CTRL-H is treated like DEL in incremental search.
  . arrow keys once again work in isearch contexts under Solaris.
* infokey:
  . use .info key bindings before defaults.
  . allow prefix keys to be disabled.
* Distribution:
  . update to GNU FDL 1.2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html).
  . getopt and other common library files updated from gnulib
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib/).
  . autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.2.

texinfo pretest

[Thomas Esser]

Hi,

Karl Berry plans a new pretest of texinfo and a new release just in
time for teTeX-2.0. There will be an announce (by Karl) about that new
texinfo-pretest very soon.

If you have the possibility/time, please, test this texinfo pretest and
report any bug / problem.

Thomas
