[comp.text.tex] Anyone understand this?

Attempting to use the texinfo macro package, I got the following unusual
error:

Script started on Tue Feb  5 16:33:29 1991
{ uokmax:~/work/acct 1 } tex design.texinfo
This is TeX, C Version 2.95 (no format preloaded)

script done on Tue Feb  5 16:34:25 1991


The immediate area of the document:

@node Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Top, Top    
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@chapter Calling Conventions
@cindex Calling the editor
@cindex The @code{PanelEditor} call
@findex @code{char* PanelEditor(w, fmt, @dots{} )}

If I delete the offending line, then the following line (the other @cindex)
is flagged.

Any ideas? Please e-mail, if possible. I do not normally read this group,
but will for the next few days. As far as the cross-post to gnu.emacs.help,
I hope to snare some of the texinfo wizards.
