problem with "info", INFOPATH, -d, etc. with NFS files

[Paul Eggert]

I'd like to draw your attention to the following Usenet thread about
problems with running the "info" command on Solaris:

The basic idea is that Fred Ma of Carleton was trying to use "info" on
a system where by default it accessed a slow NFS device.  He couldn't
work around the problem, even by setting INFOPATH and/or using "-d".
