branch master updated: * info/nodes.c (info_create_node): initialize nodelen field to 0. Previously it was set to -1, but it is confusing because the value was never used. In most cases nodelen is set right after the call to info_create_node. In case of man page, it may not be set right away, but then it is the contents field that is used to determine if the man page node was setup.

    * info/nodes.c (info_create_node): initialize nodelen field to 0.
    Previously it was set to -1, but it is confusing because the value was
    never used.  In most cases nodelen is set right after the call to
    info_create_node.  In case of man page, it may not be set right away,
    but then it is the contents field that is used to determine if the man
    page node was setup.
