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.

Thanks,
Karl
