Dear all,
down here at Debian we got another bug report about a FTBFS, which
went away when switching to an older version of texinfo.tex:

I have reduced the problematic case to the following minimal example:
\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@setfilename ess.info
@settitle ESS -- Emacs Speaks Statistics
@macro ESS{ARG}
@acronym{ESS\ARG\}
@end macro
@ESS{}: bad
@ESS{[R]}: good
@bye
The output is:
./bla.texi:9: Argument of @gobblespaces has an extra }.
<inserted text>
@par
<to be read again>
}
@doacronym ...#3 at finish ->{@selectfonts @lsize #1}
@def @temp {#2}@ifx @temp ...
l.1 @acronym{ESS at gobblespaces }
@texinfoc
@scanmacro ...atspaces }@scantokens {#1 at texinfoc }
@aftermacro
l.9 @ESS{}
: bad
?
Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks a lot
Norbert
