Re: arrow keys don't work inside I-search

[Karl Berry]

    While trying out a build of info-4.3, I found that the arrow keys don't
    seem to work when doing an I-search (via C-s). It prints ESCOB for the
    down arrow, for example.

I finally found the bug -- incorrect pointer usage, sigh.  This fix will
be in the next release, please try it if you can.  Thanks for the
report.
