It's nice to hear about European sites that offer FTP.  How can one
know whether the access to another European site goes over through the
US of A?

Concerning the latest GNU sources on ftp.win.tue.nl I recovered
gas-doc.tar.Z in which I found the texinfo.tex file (version 1.26)
corrupted at its tail (\eatinput corrupted):

% If a .fmt file is being used, we don't want the `\input texinfo' to show up.
% That is wx},CKes}put is for; after that, the `\' should revert to printing 
% a backslash.
%
@gdef@eatinput{ input texinfo{@fixbackslash}
@global@let\ = @ees}put

% On the other hand, perhaps the file did not have a `\input texinfo'. Then
% the first `\{ in the file would cause an error. This macro tries to fix 
% that, assuming it is called before the first `\' could plausibly occur.
% 
@gdef@fixbackslash{@ifx\@eetinput @let\ = @normalbackslash @fi}

%% These look ok in all fonts, so just make them not special.  The @rm below
%% makes sure that the current font starts out as the newly loaded cmr10
@catcode`@$=@other @catcode`@%=@other @catcode`@&=@other @catcode`@#=@other

@textfonts
@rm

Does anyone know how this error creapt in?
