I'm using texinfo.tex verison "2001-07-25.07", and I noticed the
following problems:
1. When I include the command "@afourlatex" in the header of a texinfo
file, TeX seems to get confused, and refuses to process it. For
example:
$ head -6 libc.texinfo
\input texinfo @c -*- Texinfo -*-
@comment %**start of header (This is for running Texinfo on a region.)
@setfilename libc.info
@settitle The GNU C Library
@afourlatex
@setchapternewpage odd
$ texi2dvi libc.texinfo
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
(/mnt/disk1/home/npat/rpm/build/BUILD/glibc-2.2.3/manual/libc.texinfo
(texinfo.tex Loading texinfo [version 2001-07-25.07]: Basics, pdf, fonts,
page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments,
defuns, macros, cross references, (/usr/share/texmf/tex/plain/dvips/epsf.tex)
localization, and turning on texinfo input format.))
*
And stops there waiting for... I don't know what! If I select other
paper types (i.e. @afourpaper, or @afourwide) this behavior does not
appear!
More or less 'blindly' hacking "texinfo.tex", I made the following
change:

And the problem appears to have disappeared!
2. The bottom margin, when I select "@afourpaper" is *very* small;
certainly much smaller than the top margin! The following change
seems to fix things:

50\baselineskip, looks also reasonable.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
