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.
