Is this Makeinfo from Texinfo 3.9? I had problems like this in earlier
versions, but I submitted patches for them and as far as I could see they
are gone in the last version. In particular, any errors that I do in the
FAQ sources are reported with correct line numbers.
Can you post the shortest Texinfo source which exhibits this problem
(preferably shorter than 1506 lines ;-)?

By how much? Can you track down any Texinfo features whose use triggers
the problem?
