If I keep pressing carriage returns whenever it stops (total 3 times), in
the end I get the following error.


Output written on libc.pdf (1028 pages, 4392548 bytes).
Transcript written on libc.log.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdfetex exited with bad status, quitting.

This problem is discussed at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-tex-maint/2007/09/msg00353.html . During
this discussion, Norbert Preining has narrowed down the problem to

        \input texinfo
        @setfilename test.info
        @deftypevar {(} e )
        Hello World
        @end deftypevar
        @bye

Which breaks with
/home/norbert/bla/manual.texi:3: Unbalanced parentheses in @def.
@badparencount ...{Unbalanced parentheses in @def}
                                                  @global @parencount =0 
....

(The original typedef was:
@comment GNU
@deftypevar {void (*} error_print_progname ) (void)
If the....
)

Even though this bug is fixed in later versions texinfo, I am filing it here so
that it will serve as a remainder.

thanks
raju
