cygwin64 info.exe consistently dumps when no info file is found - whether or not there is a man page. cygwin32 works as always, displaying a man page if found, or status line message "No menu item `zzzz' in node `(dir)Top'."
Running under gdb where there is a man page but no info file: Reading symbols from /usr/bin/info...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
