Yes, sir.

I don't think that is necessary.

I just removed all the files and installed all stuffs. (default)

The problem is related to the new gcc-2.95.2-6.
It has dir.info  file in /usr/info  directory  and it conflicts with dir.
(gcc-2.95.2-5 does not have dir.info)

What I have tested is to install gcc-2.95.2-5, and do the normal thing
>  bash$ cd /usr/info
>  bash$ for f in *.info ; do install-info $f dir ; done
to create a  dir   file.

Everything is fine at this step. (info works well, too.)

Then, upgrade gcc to gcc-2.95.2-6.
Now, I have   dir   and    dir.info   in the /usr/info  directory,  and info crashes with this message :
   $ info
         0 [main] info 711029 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   1720 [main] info 711029 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to INFO.EXE.stackdump Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The simplest way to solve this problem is to remove  dir.info  in /usr/info,  I think.

If you install gcc-2.95.2-6 from the beginning, then you still have dir.info.
And you will have the same problem.
My solution is to remove dir.info and to generate a new dir (Top of the INFO tree).

Is this just for my PC?
Does anyone have this problem?
