I agree with you. I've tried yesterday evenning the previous version of
makeinfo (i.e. 1.67) and everything worked like a charm.

I also noticed that if makeinfo 1.67 take, for me, about 5 to 10 minutes
to do the job, makeinfo 1.68 took 40 good minutes !! But makeinfo 1.68
never crashed under Win95 at least on *my* computer.
