The problem is that when a entry is added at the end of the 'dir' file (which happens when the section isn't specified) it's added without a newline.
The info reader then doesn't display this last added line. It's 'there' but 'invisible'. If you manually add the newline to the end of 'dir', the info reader works correctly. This has nothing to do with coreutils, it can be triggered manually by calling install-info on an info file which doesn't have an INFO-DIR-SECTION entry. -- KBK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
