This one is easy to patch (update index info after starting the section, not
just before).

There's another one (reported by Kevin Buzzard): the default extended help ??
(which runs TeX and xdvi) has stopped working [I had failed to notice since
I only use the much faster text-mode version, as explained in misc/gprc.dft]

(you'll have to re-run Configure).
