Good, that is what it's supposed to do.  I've pushed it now.

Weird and annoying, the line reported in the error message is off by one ...
I wouldn't loose my sleep on this, but it would be nice to understand the
reason of this racy failure; so I'm keeping the bug report open.

This seems either an issue with your sed, or with your texi2dvi installation...
Since that is from 2004 (almost 8 years old), and since texi2dvi is mostly a
maintainer tool, I wouldn't worry too deeply about this issue, assuming it is
not present with more modern Texinfo versions.
