Okay, thanks, I think I've fixed it, in SVN revision 7032. The problem was with a manpage being preferred to a case-insensitive match. I've changed it so that a dir entry "Automake" will take priority over an "automake" manpage when "info automake" is run. This problem was introduced when I gave manpages a higher priority so that "info ps" could display the "ps" manpage in preference to a dir entry for "psmandup" (part of a2ps), which is not what you want to see when you run "info ps". There are two ways to be sloppy, though: accepting initial matches, and being case-insensitive. The first should have been changed, and fixes the "psmandup" problem, but changing the second caused the problem that you've encountered.
