I believe this must be a problem with your Dir file.

I witnessed the behavior I described with exactly the same command
line arguments you gave with CVS bootstrapped at pretty much the same
time you did.  From discussions with Kai and Richard, I get the
impression that the behavior I described is also the behavior they are
witnessing.  In the situation you describe, RETURN carries me to
texinfo, as expected.

Just in case:

[bash2.05b.0 ~ 3 3] makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.2

In an unrelated matter:

   /usr/local/bin/emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)'

I guess you must be susceptible to the "blinking cursor phenomenon"
too.  It is strange how such a tiny blinking black box can have this
dramatic effect on the nervous system of a small minority of people
(it is torture), whereas it apparently leaves the vast majority of
people completely unaffected.

Sincerely,

Luc.
