Re: Inclusion of new texinfo.tex breaks other packages

[Karl Berry]

    texinfo.tex and advised me to include the current texinfo.tex, as it
    will not break other things.

Well, I hope I didn't make quite such a blanket statement!  What I know

inevitable.

I made some changes on February 13 in this area.  Try the current
version :).  Your test file works for me.

Best,
