Bug Description
Binary package hint: texinfo
I was attempting to view "info bash" and "info readline", and noticed that the menu items are missing from the display.
Upon investigation, it appears that the info reader now chokes on files containing a tab character, ignoring all remaining content up to the next start-of-node marker.

I ran a quick test, using GIT texinfo. After building, './info/ginfo bash' displayed the correct menu.
So this is confirmed, and we have to find the fix in GIT.
