Hello Gavin,

I've been going over the code to reduce the number of compiler warnings a bit, and in doing so, I came across what looks like an almost certain bug:

diff --git a/tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/separator.c b/tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/separator.c
index 639cc908d..c872ca599 100644
--- a/tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/separator.c
+++ b/tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/separator.c
@@ -475,7 +475,7 @@ handle_close_brace (ELEMENT *current, char **line_inout)
           int superfluous_arg;
           char *arg = convert_to_text (current, &superfluous_arg);

-          if (arg && *arg);
+          if (arg && *arg)
             {
               ELEMENT *index_elt;
               if (current->parent->parent

That extraneous semicolon renders that if() meaningless. There's no way that code could have been meant the way it's written.
