Logs are rather long.. I checked for strange TEXINPUTS variables, but here's
a simple bit of what happens for me:

% ls
zardoz.texi
% cat zardoz.texi
\input texinfo
@setfilename zardoz.info
@settitle Zardoz
@node Top
Hello walls.
include version.texi
@bye

zardoz.dvi is fine. Maybe something wrong with my
texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.6) 1.23? But what?! Do you not have a texput.log?

Cheers,
