Info.el --signals error repeatedly when at top of the tree |

This bug appears when running Emacs 21 under X -- is not present when
running at a TTY or linux console.
Running under X:
If you launch info (C-h i)
then info signals an error repeatedly when one is on:
A) the top of the info tree
B) At a node that doesn't have a next or previous node
The error is signaled automatically --not just when the user tries to
move to a non-existing node.
The message displayed in the minibuffer is:
Composing main Info directory...done
Node has no Prev[Ious]*
Node has no Next
Node has no Up
The above is probably an inoquous bug to the average Emacs user--
but causes lots of pain to Emacspeak --for now I've added a work
around to Emacspeak with the following advice fragment --
but of course I'd like to get rid of it --
(defadvice Info-extract-pointer (around emacspeak pre act comp)
"Silence emacspeak during call."
(let ((emacspeak-speak-messages nil)
(emacspeak-use-auditory-icons nil))
ad-do-it))
In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2001-10-23 on bubbles.almaden.ibm.com
