It doesn't matter (unless there's another bug ;-).

Those problems were only relevant to very old versions of the stand-alone 
browser (before DJGPP v2.0).

When searching for references to a problem, don't look in the Table of 
Contents alone, search the two large indices at the end as well.  There 
are several entries there which begin with "Info", and one of them would 
certainly lead you to that section.

It is not easy to organize a lot of semi-related entries into an order
that would make sense for everybody.  If I were to put all Info-related
issues in a single chapter, people who have several programs that crash
would be unhappy.  That is why I put a lot of effort into indexing the
FAQ, so that any important piece of info could be found regardless of the
section names.
