Huge thanks for the rapid response & fix!

I concur -- let's hope there's not too many of these. I _am_ a bit worried
about GNU projects which are reliant on gnulib that haven't made
a release this year though.

I suspect we can make this work in Gentoo without such a release,
but does it at all align with your plans for the next texinfo release if I said 
that
glibc-2.34 is expected around the 1st of August?

It's really no bother if not, because we're going to have a lot of these
bugs to handle all over the place (13 so far), but I thought I may as well ask
while I'm here!

Again, big thanks for your work & response.

Best,
sam
