Oops.  It looks like my fix, earlier, was actually inverted.

Will fix in rc2.

This I can't fix without knowing more.  Any chance you could run
this test under gdb for me?  `cd' to tests, then run
        make check TESTS=command/match-files.sh SUPERVISOR='gdb --args'
When the gdb prompt appears, issue the `r' command.  The program
should start, then stop with an error.  Then issue the `bt'
command and send me its output.

Will fix for rc2.

To me this looks like a bug in `makeinfo'.  I'm not sure how to
debug it.
