serious TEXINPUTS bug in texi2dvi

[Werner LEMBERG]

Folks,


the current texi2dvi (both version 1.122 which is part of the current
TeXLive repository and 1.132 which is part of the current texinfo
repository) no longer handles TEXINPUTS values correctly which contain
braces.  For example, version 1.34 (part of texinfo 4.8) did.

My shell is bash 3.1.17, on a GNU/Linux box.

This is a serious regression which should be fixed ASAP.
