This ran twice, and blew up both times in a spot where it is 'impossible to
blow up where it did' (line 183)

Note that r-release ran fine on the same commit.

Ditto with this win-builder r-devel build _not even installing_
  https://win-builder.r-project.org/SNSy1J8W8H8b

The package now also errors on r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc and was fine
days ago (as we just uploaded that release last week). 

Neither one of these errors has, as best as I can tell, anything to do with
texinfo, as you brought that up.

Anyway, I just disabled r-devel in the CI matrix for now and will revisit in
a few days.  As I wrote, it works here (as I wrote) under '2024-06-13 r86731'.
