I found with valgrind that info was accessing data that had been freed
in a signal handler. For more explanation see e.g.
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Why-Block.html#Why-Block.
I found it could even start the signal handler for resizing while it
was in the middle of handling the last resize. There were a couple of
other places as well where very small displays weren't handled well.
I've got something that seems to work now: it might need looking again
to check it is blocking signals everywhere it needs to. You can try
getting the latest version from SVN
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/texinfo) to see if it works.
