[gnu.emacs.bug] Info can't handle large menus at one level

GNU Emacs 18.54

We copied a bunch of Info files from a friendly neighborhood DEC-20,
and installed them into the Info subsystem area of GNU Emacs.  All was
dandy, until a user noted that in a particularly large menu, when
following the Next: links, we get a feep and a "No such node: ..."
message.  No further nodes are available, whether following Next:
links or descending directly to them.

You can reproduce this with the file
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/info/jargon.info.Z.  The last
node that works is "Feep", the 73rd in this menu.  The first that
doesn't is (somehow appropriately :-) "Fencepost Error", the 74th.
