   Yes it should.

Meant was leading `(' and `)' in index entries and menu subtopic
names.  There were similar problems with other leading characters,
such as `;'.

I believe that the bug was a badly initialized while loop in
`Info-extract-menu-node-name'.

I would like to commit the following patch, which takes care of these
problems.  Is this OK?
