I don't mean to butt in here, but I suspect this is due to bug #1117 (probably =
#876). Are there extra ^M at the line ends of the Index page (which is the last
node)?
I have bug #1117 in my latest CVS version, and debugging Info-final-node shows
exactly that. The code gets here, and it just loops because "Top^M" is not
string-equal to "Top".
Debugger entered--returning value: nil
string-equal("top
" "top")
* (not (string-equal (downcase ...) "top"))
* (and (save-excursion (search-backward "up:" nil t)) (not (string-equal ...
"top")))
* (cond ((and ... ... ...) (Info-goto-node ...) t) ((save-excursion ...)
(Info-next) t) ((and ... ...) (let ... ... ...)) (no-error nil) (t (error "No
pointer forward from this node")))
* (let ((case-fold-search t)) (cond (... ... t) (... ... t) (... ...) (no-error
nil) (t ...)))
* Info-forward-node(t t)
* (while (Info-forward-node t t) nil)
* (let ((Info-history nil) (case-fold-search t)) (Info-goto-node
(Info-extract-menu-counting nil)) (while (Info-forward-node t t) nil) (while
(and ... ...) (Info-goto-node ...)))
* Info-final-node()
call-interactively(Info-final-node nil nil)
It was looking at Martin's patch that made me think of this - the code is
similar to my code that made me discover bug #1117 - same comparison of "Top^M"
with "Top", but in my case (isearch) an error was raised instead of an infinite
loop.
HTH.

I should add that if this is in fact the cause, it shows how vulnerable our code
is to something like extra ^M's - several places break because of node name
comparisons. Maybe some more general remedy should be taken to protect against
this kind of thing.
Node "Top" tends to be at the end of a line for nodes like the Index. Perhaps
node-name tests should even check for a final ^M, just to play dumb-safe. Dunno.

Have you looked at the original report? It says
I' running GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-07 on SOFT-MJASON

You can't test this with current CVS on Windows - the ^Ms get in your
way thus hiding the original bug.

Fixed in Emacs 23.0.60 as
* info.el (Info-extract-menu-counting): New argment no-detail to
skip detailed node listings.
(Info-forward-node): New argument not-up to inhibit going up.
(Info-final-node): Call Info-extract-menu-counting and
Info-forward-node with the new arguments set to avoid infinite
looping. (Bug#1116)
Thanks for the report, martin.
