This bug is caused by the fact that pinfo can not deal with references spanning more then two lines. The "Fixed date options" node of gcal.info contains references starting at then end of a line, covering the entire following line and terminating in the line after next. See lines 3098-3100 and 3113-3115 of unpacked /usr/share/info/gcal.info.gz. The way how pinfo handles two-line-references is not extendable to more lines. A change would require a major rework of how pinfo handles paragraphs of text, IMHO. -- GPG Fingerprint 3DF5 E8AA 43FC 9FDF D086 F195 ADF5 0EDA F8AD D585
