makeinfo 1.49 (distributed with texinfo 2.16) formats the 5.33
vm.texinfo file without complaint.

Good.

I don't think that makeinfo should be silent about inconsistent
Next/Previous and Menu/Up links, although maybe there should be a way to
inhibit the warnings for particular nodes when the author intentionally
constructs a partially connected node like vm.texinfo's 'License'.

>I hope makeinfo creates the Info file despite these warnings.

It does.
