I have continual problems using that plugin, too. The vim version
I'm using now is 7.2.330 that I built on a Red Hat Linux system.

I almost always run into some problem using that plugin.
Fortunately, I can usually get the information I need before it
stops working. I just haven't taken the time to report the problems
properly.

It didn't take long to find an example.

$ vim -c 'Info find'

Move the cursor to the word "Introduction" and hit Enter. The
Introduction node appears. So far, so good. Type 'u' to go up.
Get the following message.

:call <SNR>45_UpNode() Error detected while processing function <SNR>41_gotoline:
line 6:

Info failed (node not found)
Press ENTER or type command to continue

If I knew how to use info at a shell prompt, I wouldn't have to use
the info.vim plugin. :-)
