No need, since starting the newest emacs, the one that I reported as
failing has no problem with index search on cvs manual.

I've very sorry but apparently it is only a local phenomena.
Sorry in that I wasted every ones' time.

However, it is really puzzling what kind of local problem could allow any other
info manual index search to work, but not cvs index search.

I was so sure that the fact that opening any other info manual and
having index search work, indicated it was NOT a local problem that I
skipped the all important step of opening emacs with --no-site
--no-init.

To repeat again.

Open emacs 23.1.50 (yesterdays cvs) with --no-site --no-init and emacs
has no problem using index search on cvs manual,
