I am able to reproduce this.  I'm using GCC 2.6.3 -O2, under Linux
1.2.0 on an Intel i486DX/33.

I'm running the program in an 80x15 xterm (note the small number of
lines), with the following TERMCAP:

Bill Mitchell reports that he gets the bug on a Linux console too, but
I can't reproduce it there.  This may have something to do with the
fact that my console is 132x43.

I have patched the Info program very slightly, to correct a few minor
deficiencies.  The patches are attached.  Two of them are fixes for
bugs which have already been reported here; the other adds some
support needed for Debian's modular packaging scheme, where any
combination of Info and/or Emacs may be installed on a system.

When replying to this bug report, I'd be grateful if you'd preserve
the CC to debian-bugs@pixar.com, and keep the subject line starting
with `Re: Bug#627'.  This will allow our automatic bug tracking system
to file your messages alongside the original report from Bill
Mitchell.

Ian.
