texinfo 4.4 gzip bug

[Werner LEMBERG]

[texinfo 4.4]

The texinfo info files are by default installed as 

  texinfo
  texinfo-1
  ...
  texinfo-15

in /usr/local/info.  As soon as I run gzip on the files, i.e.,

  texinfo.gz
  ...
  texinfo-15.gz

then starting `info', selecting the `texinfo' menu entry, I get the
message

  Cannot find node `Top'.

and nothing happens.  This *works* with e.g. texinfo 4.0.

My INFOPATH is set to `/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info' in case it
matters.

If this is really I bug (which I believe) it deserves a new release
immediately...
