This afternoon I ftp'ed the Emacs Lisp documentation from the
file elisp.tar.Z on node prep.ai.mit.edu

I built makeinfo from the makeinfo.c, getopt.c and getopt1.c files
that were included in the tar file, but ran into a Virtual Memory 
exhausted error when I attempted to 
		makeinfo elisp.texi

After some debugging, it appeared that the routine "accumulate_token"
attempts to realloc() space that has never been malloc()'ed.

With some trepidation (since I never understood the various subtleties
of the myriad types of allocation routines) I propose the following patch
to the routine "initialize_accumulator_token()": 

4168c4168
<   (accumulator -> tokens) = (char **)xmalloc(0);
---
>   (accumulator -> tokens) = NULL;


I notice that makeinfo does not contain a Version.h or a ChangeLog,
and I am not familiar with the proper patch procedure, but I can report
the resulting makeinfo seems to work correctly, and I have elisp info
online.

Note 1. The informal patch above was generated by "diff makeinfo.c*".
Note 2. This is being posted as a followup to Mackenzie's article because
        he reported that the 18.57 distrib contained makeinfo.c but not
	getopt.c or getopt1.c. Both exist in the tarfile elisp.tar.Z
