Package: texinfo
Version: 4.0-4
Severity: normal

The input:

    \input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-
    @cindex foo
    @bye

Generates the following error:

    address@hidden:643]% texi2dvi --clean foo.texi
    This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)

    OK, entering @batchmode/usr/bin/texi2dvi: tex exited with bad status, 
quitting.
    /usr/bin/texi2dvi: see foo.log for errors.

None of the other index commands I tried worked either.
