Hitting the space bar in info mode, sometimes goes to the next node
instead of scrolling up the rest of a long page.  This can be
demonstrated by trying to scroll up with the space bar in the top
level of the 'emacs' entry.  Instead of scrolling to the rest of the
'emacs' entry it jumps to the next node which is 'Distrib'.  Here is my
dribble file of the precise commands that exhibit the problem:

imemacs<return> 

Scrolling backwards in info mode with the DEL key also is broken.  To
exhibit that behavior try these commands:

^Himemacs<return>^V<delete>^X^C

Instead of ending back at the beginning of the 'emacs' text you end up
in the 'Text Characters' node.

This behavior does not require loading of my .emacs file.  I have a
Sparcstation LX that is running the Solaris 2.3 operating system.  The
arguments for my 'configure' command when I built emacs were
'--prefix=/opt/gnu --with-x11 --with-gcc
--x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib'.

Thank you.
