 It would appear that the GNU Project's maintainer of the GNU texinfo
 package (which includes the `makeinfo' utility) concurs with my
 opinion that `makeinfo' contained a bug that could cause segfaults.
 
 It would also appear that he concurs with the patch for `makeinfo'
 that I sent him.

 Subject: Re: Segfault in makeinfo in GNU texinfo-4.3 package (fix included)
 
     I have been experiencing segmentation faults in makeinfo for quite a
     long time now... over a year.  Please see:
 
         http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=45598
 
 Ah.  Sorry, I wasn't aware of this.
 
     Obviously, it *is* possible for name_index_alist[i] to have a NULL value,
 
 Indeed.  I moved the undefindex call after the conditional just as you
 suggested.
 
 Thanks much for the report and fix!
