In fact the patch seems to be against texinfo-4.8, the last released version of texinfo.
Well, the patch applies, but that's not what I was saying. One question: For the upcoming texinfo-4.8 package in Debian, can I use the patch of Henry, Karl? It's up to you, but I don't advise it. It reverts many declarations to K&R form (i.e., a much older texindex.c). Aside from that, it also reverts at least one bug fix I made regarding initials (years ago). Perhaps you or someone could work on just making a patch which fixes the race condition without all the other extraneous (and undesirable) changes. That would help me.
