I stumbled upon this yesterday on a 4.6.2-R system while attempting to update bison and mod_php4 to current. I had not seen anything posted about this but due to the fact that mod_php4's recent update addresses specific security concerns I felt that this should be looked into since makeinfo is part of the base system and the current cvs tree for 4.6.2 does not reflect any updates which correct this problem. This problem has not come up on 4.8 systems. I do not currently have any 4.7 systems to check this against. Rob Andrews RELI Networks, Inc. Atlanta, GA.
