Summary : texi2pdf fails on unchanged .texi files with newer texinfo.tex

Summary 2 : \initial macro no longer accepts SPACE input with texinfo.tex
version 2025-10-25.20.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) mkdir texibug
2) cp initial-bug.texi texinfio.tex.new texinfo.tex.old texibug
3) cd texibug
4) ln -sf texinfo.tex.new texinfo.tex
5) texi2pdf initial-bug.texi
This fails on my system. The logfile for the run is attached as
initial-bug.log.
Thanks for the detailed report and instructions.
This failure was due to new code for adding links to the initial letter
sections in indices in the PDF table of contents.
It should be fixed in commit 2ecd1470acaf0 (today's date).
I downloaded texinfo.tex from Git repository and Octave documentation
builds again!
Thank you for the quick fix,
Rik
