Public bug reported:

The Standalone GNU Info documentation browser /info/ fails with a
segfault in a Ubuntu focal fossa recently updated system:

$  lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release:        20.04

$ uname -a
Linux ____ 5.13.0-40-generic #45~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 4 09:38:31 UTC 2022 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If I issue an info --version it works
 info --version
info (GNU texinfo) 6.7

Display in Portuguese as machine is set to Brazilian locale

If issued with --help, it also prints 42 lines of information (in
Portuguese).

Any attempt to see documentation be it by asking a node, e.g. 'info
octave' or directly to a known info file, e.g. 'info -f
/usr/share/info/octave.info.gz' segfaults.

The message says the core dumped has been stored, but I still didn't
manage to find where to get a look with gdb.
