This is not really a bug report, but rather a warning.  If I'm wrong to
post it here, apologies in advance.  I just thought I'd save a few
people some frustration.

Processing a texinfo file with TeX and texindex produces a file
suffixed ".cps".  If you use Sun's make program, beware that it
assumes ".cps" files contain C/PostScript interface routines (for use
with NeWS).  Sun make may decide to run "cps" on the file, and clobber
source code.  I roasted my copy of "tar.c" when Sun's make decided to
remanufacture it from "tar.cps".  Be careful!
