Something seems to be wrong with the Tag Table in elisp.info. In this
particular case I see on line 80603 of elisp.info
Ref: Definition of nth^?260740^M
which translates in ‘Info-find-node-2’ to a guesspos of 254814 which is
somewhere in section 5.1. With Emacs 25/26 on Windows XP.
A Emacs 25.0.50.1 build of 2014-11-25 exhibits
Ref: Definition of nth^?255333^M
which gets me to the requested definition.
BTW something completely irrational is happening with edebug here. Once
I instrumented a function in info.el I can't `eval-buffer' the info.el
buffer unless I kill the *info* buffer first. Otherwise, I immediately
reenter the debugger.
