From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I talked to the maintainer of texinfo and he said he believes this bug to be fixed in texinfo 4.8 which was released a few weeks ago. So hopefully we can get an RPM of that in the repository. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type "info info" 2.

After installing texinfo-debuginfo valgrind had this to say: ==15711== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==15711== at 0x80579EF: ???

(session.c:4646) (this was for texinfo-4.7-5) I didn't dig any further because as Jeff mentioned it sounds like there are fixes to session.c in later texinfo packages (see http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/texinfo/texinfo/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD )
