Robert, I think what you are seeing there is that your lisp is
using a utf-8 external format (encoding), and #\?
is the replacement char for non-printables.

Based on this hunch, I've pushed a patch for build-index.lisp
that uses the external format in the master info file to
read the info files and write the hash tables. Does this
fix the issue you see?
