AW: AW: problems with display of info files in emacs

I just switched to a computer with newer makeinfo and newer emacs, see below, 
but *precisely* the same problems (both).

I attach a file from the same project which exhibits both problems.  If you 
view the fourth menu node:

    The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS)

(in emacs!), right at the beginning you will see

=========================================
AUTHORS:

   - Thierry Monteil (2012-02-10 – 2013-06-21): initial version.

   - Vincent Delecroix (2014): modifies continued fractions because of
     trac ticket #14567(1)

   - Moritz Firsching (2016): modifies handling of dead sequence, see
     trac ticket #17330(2)
=========================================

and both (2014) and (2016) are interpreted by emacs-info as links.  Going back 
to top, and then visiting the node

    FindStat - the Combinatorial Statistic Finder
 
you should see in line 29 the link

    To access the database, use *note findstat: 7a.:

but clicking on it does not send me to the line beginning with

    Class sage.databases.findstat.FindStat


In any case, thanks for looking into this!

Martin
