Not true: I'm using this port of Info on plain MS-DOS extensively, and I 
have yet to see a single problem.

Please post the entire crash message here.  Please also tell what command 
line did you use to invoke Info.

FWIW, this is the first segfault report about Info 4.0, IIRC.  This is 
probably something specific to your system, or some very subtle bug that 
is triggered for something on your system.

Some DOS systems might have problems with the way Info switches the 
display to 40-line mode.  Try setting INFO_LINES=50 in the environment, 
before running Info, and see if that helps.

Btw, do you still have an outdated DJGPP installation?  Maybe that is 
your problem, if you do.
