This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-dell-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2003-09-02 on jtpc840
configured using `configure i386-dell-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/joseph/gnu/emacs-21.3 --exec-prefix=/home/joseph/gnu/emacs-21.3/linux24 --with-x-toolkit=athena'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
put the following lines between BEGIN and END in a file called cmd and chmod 755 cmd:
***BEGIN file cmd***
cat >/tmp/testinfo <<!!end
# This file is an Info mode menu file for Gnu Emacs.
\x1f
node: top, next: set-file, prev: list-directory
* menu:
* set-file:: Set name of file to check
* check-file:: Check syntax of file
* show-file:: Show name of file to check
* list-directory:: Show names of all files in directory
\x1f
node: set-file, next: check-file, prev: top, up: top
xxxxxx
\x1f
node: check-file, next: show-file, prev: set-file, up: top
xxxxxx
\x1f
node: show-file, next: list-directory, prev: check-file, up: top
xxxxxx
\x1f
node: list-directory, next: top, prev: show-file, up: top
xxxxxx
\x1f
!!end
cat >/tmp/testinfo.el <<!!end
(setq Info-directory "/tmp")
(load-library "info.el")
(info)
(define-key Info-mode-map "q" 'save-buffers-kill-emacs);;
(Info-goto-node (concat "(/tmp/testinfo)top"))
!!end
emacs -q -l /tmp/testinfo.el
***END file cmd***
The hard to read chars in my mail message above are control-L chars.
After creating the file cmd, execute it. In the resulting emacs window,
type the key "n" five times to execute the Info-next command five times.
Then type the key "p" five times to execute the Info-previous command
five times. Type "q" to exit.
During the Info-next sequence and during the Info-previous sequence,
the displayed next: and previous: nodes does not change despite the
fact that the emacs Info mode actually sequences through the next
and previous chains returning to the top node after five key strokes!
