Do you not have a texput.log?
Texi2dvi runs something like tex --help </dev/null 2>&1 On your system it seems to print "fflush error on stdout" and create texput.log as a side effect. On mine it works just fine (i.e. it prints the help -- I have TeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159). So I think texi2dvi should be changed to clean texput.log afterwards (or run tex --help in a temporary directory). -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
