I triggered makeinfo from texinfo-4.5 to segfault with the following
construct:
@itemize @bullet @item on the same line that itemize
Here's a patch that tries to circumvent it by checking for @item in the
@itemize argument up front. I surmise the seg fault was just running
out of stack space from the recursive @item invocation.
Thanks for the report.
