Yes, looked there already.  All I see is this:

  + grep '^File: file-menu,'
  FAIL t/dir-file-sloppily.sh (exit status: 1)

which AFAIU means Grep didn't find the string it looked for in the
Info file produced by the test.  But I have no idea why that happened.

I guess I'm missing something, then, because the test script does
this:

  srcdir=${srcdir:-.}
  . $srcdir/t/Init-test.inc

  # Follow an reference to "file-menu" in dir without matching label exactly
  $ginfo --output - FiLe-M | grep "^File: file-menu,"

I understand that the Info file it uses is infodir/dir, is that
correct (even this was something it took a lot of time to understand)?
But then what is "FiLe-M" in the above command?

Thanks.
