[Resending with corrected Subject.]
The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
* texinfo-6.1-1
* info-6.1-1
* texinfo-tex-6.1-1
Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi,
html, info, pdf, xml, etc.).
This is an update to the latest upstream release. See the release
announcement
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2016-02/msg00035.html)
for a list of changes since the last release.
Cygwin packaging
================
The info package contains the standalone info viewer as well as the
install-info program. The texinfo package contains everything else
except support for the printable output formats (such as pdf). The
texinfo-tex package supplies the latter. In particular,
/usr/bin/makeinfo is in the texinfo package, but the command 'makeinfo
--pdf' won't work unless you install texinfo-tex.
This release of the info package also contains a postinstall script that
was previously in the _update-info-dir package, which is now obsolete.

info 6.1 crashes to segmentation fault on every run.
Downgarding to version 6.0 resolves the problem.
Does anyone come across with this or it is my local issue?
Thanks.

WJFFM. Local issue or some interaction with your environment is most
likely. Have you run cygcheck?
Regards,
Achim.

Yes and it was/is OK for all installed packages.
I have just found the cause:
From strace output it can be observed that version 6.1
get an access violation exception after trying to read from the .infokey file.
And then, info-6.1 crashes if the .infokey file contains the lines that
disable the default key bindings by overriding them with the action 'invalid'
according to as described in info-stnd manual.
Perhaps it is an upstream bug.

Thanks for the report. I can confirm this on 64-bit Cygwin but not
32-bit. I'll look into it.

This was indeed an upstream bug, which is now fixed. I'll issue a new
release with the fix.
