Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/68.7.0 |
Steps to reproduce:
info -f ./bug.info.gz
Expected behavior:
info exits with an error such as "Cannot find node 'Top'".
Actual behavior:
info stuck in an infinite loop
Discussion:
The malformed input file bug.info.gz has a section separator and newline
after "Node:", like this:
File: example.info, Node:^_
This appears to make info unable to find the node name.
Version:
info (GNU texinfo) 6.5
(also reproducible with 6.7dev, git commit
d5666eb167a9edd20ed3cc86f49a6d40a4d94134).
