Ok, I did the following with info from cvs:
$ ./info-cvs --dribble=save.drib ./kojaojfdokaf
q
now the save.drib contains only the q character, as we are interested
only in the start up.
Then I did:
$ gdb ./info-cvs
(gdb) set args --restore=save.drib ./asdkiafdasdf
(gdb) break info_follow_menus
Breakpoint 2 at 0x805d00f: file session.c, line 2472.
(gdb) run
Starting program:
/src/TeX/debian/pkg-texlive/texinfo/bug-examples/info-cvs --restore=save.drib
./asdkiafdasdf
Breakpoint 2, info_follow_menus (initial_node=0x806f470, menus=0xbfabe55c,
errstr=0xbfabe4a8, errarg1=0xbfabe4a4, errarg2=0xbfabe4a0)
at session.c:2472
2472 NODE *node = NULL;
then I step through the function and see, that it goes all the way down
to
node = make_manpage_node (first_arg);
in line 2542, after this it goes to "goto maybe_got_node" and skips the
error message you mentioned.
Does your info also go to make_manpage_node and returns a if (node)
true?
Best wishes
Norbert

MILWAUKEE (n.)
The melodious whistling, chanting and humming tone of the milwaukee
can be heard whenever a public lavatory is entered. It is the way the
occupants of the cubicles have of telling you there's no lock on their
door and you can't come in.
