Find out what's in line 8236 of autogen.texi.  Likely problems:
- texinfo syntax error

- bug in texinfo.tex (in that case try a slightly newer/older one)

Hi Ralf, et al.,

This input line:

       @item @code{[[HH:]MM:]SS}

causes texinfo to go nuts and dump lots of incomprehensible stuff
into stderr.  I just want the text inside the curly braces to print
as you see it, and if there's something wrong with that syntax then
a corrective hint would be nice, too.  Thank you  Cheers - Bruce

Oh, and when you happen to be bored, you could eliminate some of those
under/overfull boxes ...

Only if I knew the cause.  I must have some boxes, but I don't know what they 
are.
It's just .texi text as far as I know.
