(info "(texinfo) Overfull hboxes")
states at the end


      For what overfull boxes you have, however, TeX will print a large,
    ugly, black rectangle beside the line that contains the overfull hbox
    unless told otherwise.  This is so you will notice the location of the
    problem if you are correcting a draft.

      To prevent such a monstrosity from marring your final printout, write
    the following in the beginning of the Texinfo file on a line of its own,
    before the address@hidden' command:
