The 18.55 distribution contains some clobbered info files.
Specifically, termcap-3 contains nodes like the following:

|File: termcap  Node: Var Index, Prev: Summary, Up: Top, Next: Cap Index
|
|Variable and Function Index
|***************************
|
|
|* Menu:
|
|sort: read error on stdin: Bad file number
|

These were generated a while ago by the fsf, as you can see from the
listing below:

  -rw-r--r--  1 gumby        2001 Mar 10  1989 termcap
  -rw-r--r--  1 gumby       51296 Mar 10  1989 termcap-1
  -rw-r--r--  1 gumby       52436 Mar 10  1989 termcap-2
  -rw-r--r--  1 gumby       26958 Mar 10  1989 termcap-3

The latest versions at MIT are fine; I don't know why they weren't
included when this distributution was made.

Just goes to show how many people RTFM, eh?
