This is weird. I can think of a few possibilities, all of which are a
result of a bad install

1) Which version of makeinfo do you have install
2) Which version of mktexi? Is it corruptted? Check against the CVS
3) The errors above are all at the end of the file comms.texi where the 
   automatic building of the function referencing is taking place. This is
   generated using the file INDEX and the texinfo help in all of the 
   functions. If any of the functions in the file INDEX, has an error in 
   their texinfo help, then the above might result. Are all of the files 
   *.m and *.cc the same as in the CVS?

I don't believe this is a problem in the comms package itself, as I can not
regenerate this problem...

David
