R devel - Jul 2009 - bug in texi2dvi? (PR#13833)

Hello,

I am trying to call texi2dvi on a very simple tex-file (see below) and 
it fails with a memory access error. I originally tried to call it on 
another, meaningful tex file with the same error occuring. I am 
attaching a screenshot.

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards,
Paola

-------------- tex file ciao.tex ------

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}

ciao

\end{document}

I couldn't view your screenshot, but I wonder why you think this is an R 
bug.  texi2dvi is a separate program, unrelated to R, except that R uses 
it for some of the documentation.

(texinfo is designed to process .texi files, not .tex:  your file looked 
like latex to me, so I'm not surprised texinfo failed, but I'm somehwat 
surprised it had a memory access error.)
