I am using as well

% makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.3

and

% texi2dvi --version
texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.3) 1.10

But writing a small file like


\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@c %**start of header
@setfilename math.info
@math{b_l \ldots b_h}
@bye

running texi2dvi and dvips thereafter gives a wrong ps file
which contains
b_l \ldots b_h
and not
b_l ... b_h

When it comes to the makeinfo it gives

This is math.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.3 from math.texi.

   b_l \ldots b_h


which is not what I expect easer.

Any idea?
