Something's gone south in the GNU info conversion of the documentation on the 
trunk.  If there's anyone here with time to look at it, I'd appreciate it.  
Unfortunately, the GNU info conversion is one of the bits I understand the 
least in the doc tool chain, and there's little information in the error 
message:
