problem with @verbatiminclude

[John W. Eaton]

Hi,

I'm using texinfo.tex version 2008-04-18.10 from the 4.13a.dfsg.1-5
texinfo package on a Debian system.

Given the following input file,

  \input texinfo
  @setfilename foo.info
  @set srcdir foo+
  @verbatiminclude @value{srcdir}/foo
  @bye

and a subdirectory called foo+ that contains a file foo (could be
empty) so that I would expect the @verbatiminclude command to succeed,
I see the following error when I process the file with tex:

  $ tex foo.texi
  This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
  (./foo.texi (/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex

          @char 43}
  @value ... not address@hidden @csname SET#1 at endcsname 
                                                    @fi 
  <argument> @value {srcdir}
                            /foo
  @doverbatiminclude ...ble @setupverbatim @input #1
                                                     @afterenvbreak }
  l.7 @verbatiminclude @value{srcdir}/foo

  Please type another input file name: 

I also happened to notice that if I comment out the "@setfilename
foo.info" line it works, and of course it works if the directory name
does not include a "+" character.

The makeinfo program can process this either way.  My version of
makeinfo is from the same Debian texinfo package.
