Completely broken Info reader

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi everyone,

This has been broken (probably only on x86_64 systems) for months 
now[1]. Even updates to those Bug reports hasn't helped[2]. The bug 
reports had reported problems with only the top dir nodes not showing 
any menus, but now I i have been seeing similar glitches in other info 
files too, e.g. bash.info

This is what I see when I go through the "Introduction" node in the bash 
manual, (the story is the same with many other nodes, including the bash 
top node)

>
> 1 Introduction
> **************
>
> * Menu:
>
>
>
>
>
> --zz-Info: (bash.info.gz)Introduction, 8 lines --All----------------------------
> 2 completions:
> What is a shell?    What is Bash?
>
> -----Info: *Completions*, 3 lines --All-----------------------------------------
> Menu item: What is

Not just this, almost every other node keeps on vanishing like this. 
This is not limited to bash.info, I have seen this in other info files 
too. To boot, all these show up perfectly when I view it in emacs. So 
the problem must be in the info reader and not the info files.

Anyone else seen any of this?
