Subject: bug#7996: bzr trunk compile error due to calc.texi
Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2011 18:08:42 -0800

Latest bzr trunk code (revision 103161) fails to compile on a redhat 4
system due to this error when I do "make bootstrap":

    cd .../kimr/src/emacs-bzr/trunk/doc/misc; /usr/bin/makeinfo --force -I.../kimr/src/emacs-bzr/trunk/doc/misc/../emacs calc.texi
    calc.texi:28144: Misplaced {.
    calc.texi:28144: Misplaced }.
    calc.texi:28144: Misplaced {.
    calc.texi:28144: Misplaced }.
    calc.texi:28144: Unmatched }.

Here is my makeinfo version:

  sh-3.00$ /usr/bin/makeinfo --version
  makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.7

Following change fixes the problem for me which merely combines two
lines so that the argument to @math{} is in one line:
