Description of problem: info doesn't display "indices" on x86_64. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): info-4.13a-2.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install autoconf 2. run info Autoconf 'Autoconf Macro Index' Actual results: On i686, the following is displayed: <snip> File: autoconf.info, Node: Autoconf Macro Index, Next: M4 Macro Index, Prev: Preprocessor Symbol Index, Up: Indices B.4 Autoconf Macro Index ======================== This is an alphabetical list of the Autoconf macros. * Menu: * AC_AIX: Obsolete Macros. (line 20) * AC_ALLOCA: Obsolete Macros. (line 24) * AC_ARG_ARRAY: Obsolete Macros. (line 27) * AC_ARG_ENABLE: Package Options. (line 35) ... </snip> On x86_64, the following is displayed: <snip> File: autoconf.info, Node: Autoconf Macro Index, Next: M4 Macro Index, Prev: Preprocessor Symbol Index, Up: Indices B.4 Autoconf Macro Index ======================== This is an alphabetical list of the Autoconf macros. </snip> => On x86_64, the list is empty, on i386, the list is not empty. The *.info files being involved are identical (noarch). Expected results: The results as on i386. Additional info: The effect seems to be reproducable with most "index"-lists inside of info files in Fedora 11 (probably all).
Created attachment 356099 [details] proposed patch Apparently the code is not 64bit clean. Going after some classic 64bit/32bit warnings GCC emits on 64bit platforms seems to fix this issue (cf. patch attached).

Sorry Ralf, I did it in hurry, it wasn't my intention to take your credits or to be unpolite... I'll fix both yours legitimate remarks.

Ping! This bug is still in Fedora 11 although it got fixed in rawhide.

Well, I just asked if you tried it. Fixed version would be much earlier in stable, if I had known that it works for more people than me (Karma was -1 whole month). I wonder if existence of testing makes any sense in this way. So it seems that it works for you, pushing it to the stable. Thanks to Jan for his feedback.
