Re: info displays top directory multiple times and bad CRC

Hi Gary,

    I can scroll down and see the directory repeated 4 times when 
    opening the top node

Hmm.  The code tries to get the information from all the dir files it
can find.  Often the same dir file is found via different directories
(due to symlinks, etc.)  I thought it tried to remove duplicate entries
(same section name, same entry name, same filename), but it seems this
is not happening.

I hope someone else will be able to look at this, as I need to
concentrate what time I have on the Texinfo language instead of the
standalone reader.  I will add the problem to the bug list at savannah
(which seems to be down right now, sigh); thanks.

    Does info have gzip decompression built in or does it call it
    externally,

External.  It just calls gunzip.  I can't explain the bad CRC message;
the compressed info files I have here are read ok.  If you can send a
reproducible recipe and the problematic files, I can at least try it out.

Thanks,
karl
