"M-x report-emacs-bug RET" causes emacs to initiate an email
message to 'bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org'.  Is this address somehow
the same location as 'emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org'?  I am using
GNU Emacs version 21.2.

I did not invoke makeinfo.  I fetched the .gz file at the GNU web site:

http://www.gnu.org/manual/emacs-lisp-intro/emacs-lisp-intro.info.gz

It contained the reference to '(eintr)' in a file
named 'emacs-lisp-intro.info'.

I will forward your comments that this is not a bug in the source
code, but rather a bug in the way that the .info file(s) is generated.

At present, any one who retrieves the .gz file, above, will need
to edit the .info file, or rename it from 'emacs-lisp-intro.info'
to 'eintr'.

I will send my bug report to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org, as you have
said.

Thanks!
