texinfo incompatibility with old versions

[kamaraju kusumanchi <raju.mailinglists@gmail.com>]

When I tried to make documentation for gnuplotfortran package there were 
some errors from texi2pdf command. I reported the bug in sourceforge and 
the maintainer is unable to reproduce the problem.

Can someone reproduce the following bug (better still offer a solution) 
with gnuplotfortran package.

Apparently, this problem occurs only with newer versions of texi2pdf 
(part of texinfo package) and I am wondering if it is infact a bug with 
newer texinfo.

thanks
