Subject: 23.1; info doesn't follow link in Bison TOC
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:06:00 +0000

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

- (info "(bison)")   ;; version 2.4.1
- search for TOC item "Secure?  Conform?"
- press RET
- => "No such node or anchor: Secure?  Conform?"

(Probably) relevant bits from the info file:

| [tim <at> passepartout ~/src/emacs]$ zgrep 'Secure\?' /usr/share/info/bison.info.gz
| * Secure?  Conform?::           Is Bison POSIX safe?
| * Secure?  Conform?::           Is Bison POSIX safe?
| File: bison.info,  Node: Multiple start-symbols,  Next: Secure? Conform?,  Prev: Implementing Gotos/Loops,  Up: FAQ
| File: bison.info,  Node: Secure? Conform?,  Next: I can't build Bison,  Prev: Multiple start-symbols,  Up: FAQ
| 11.6 Secure?  Conform?
| File: bison.info,  Node: I can't build Bison,  Next: Where can I find help?,  Prev: Secure? Conform?,  Up: FAQ
| Node: Secure? Conform?364602
| [tim <at> passepartout ~/src/emacs]$

Note the one vs. two spaces between "Secure?" and "Con-
form?".  The link works with info (GNU texinfo) 4.13.  The
bug is also present in a Emacs snapshot from early February.
