Actually, there are some indent problems in the texinfo file. See info
of texinfo.
,----
| * Write a command such as `@noindent' at the beginning of a line as
| the only text on the line. (`@noindent' prevents the beginning of
| the next line from being indented as the beginning of a paragraph.)
|
| * Write a command such as `@chapter' at the beginning of a line
| followed by the command's arguments, in this case the chapter
| title, on the rest of the line. (`@chapter' creates chapter
| titles.)
`----
The attached patch fixes the problem. The changes are unindenting or
inserting a new line. If no one objects, I'll check it in.
