The problem arose when I was using "man2texi" to create Perl texinfo files from
Perl man pages (I wasn't aware of "perldoc-all" at the time--see my initial
posting). I decided to try to keep the bolding and italics seen in the man
pages, in the info file. I implemented this by bracketing such text with
special characters, in the texinfo file. Then, in the generated info
file--when used--I had lisp code create extents and eliminate the special
characters. I did this by advising function "Info-find-node" so that my lisp
code ran after it did. I neglected to put 'save-excursion in my lisp code;
that didn't seem to matter until I started using the @anchor construct. Adding
'save-excursion to my lisp function solved my problem.
