The plot thickens and I am a stuck at to what to do next. This is what I
did:
1) I traced the problem to the src/libc/dos/io/_read.c file to the read()
function printing the characters.
2) Copied _read.c into the "texinfo4.0\info" directory and renamed it to
read.c
3) Changed the read() function to ac_read() in both read.c and session.c
4) Modified the makefile to include read.c when creating ginfo.exe

If I run ginfo.exe after doing the stuff above it works. If I change the
ac_read() in session.c back to read() the ginfo.exe starts to print the
"^[[?" info.

I diffed read.c against the original _read.c and I only changed the function
name.

Any ideas on what to do next?
