Follow-up Comment #14, bug #35187 (project octave):

First of all, thanks Mark for these detailed descriptions and digging!

I think I jut found a work around...

Trying your tests I looked for makeinfo.exe files in my computer and
discovered I had a 4.6 version in a very old dj203 install of mine.

I copied it in the octave install folder:
C:OctaveOctave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2msysbin
in place of the makeinfo 4.13 originally provided in Octave and now the help
works.

This work around seems to be the simpler way, but I don't know how reliable
this change is regarding the other usages of makeinfo.exe made by Octave.

Else I'll try and have a look to see if I can figure out a trend between the
various PC and Windows versions I have.
