Info disaster?

I've been seeing this for quite a while, but I haven't had time to do anything about it, so I kinda hoped it'd go away. The thing is, when I first start info, I see these messages (in chronological order): Loading info... Loading info...done Creating temporary dir in /usr/share/info/... File not found and directory write-protected unzipping a2ps.info.gz... unzipping a2ps.info.gz...done unzipping amdref.info.gz... unzipping amdref.info.gz...done unzipping automake.info.gz... unzipping automake.info.gz...done unzipping bison.info.gz... unzipping bison.info.gz...done unzipping bzip2.info.gz... unzipping bzip2.info.gz...done unzipping cpio.info.gz... unzipping cpio.info.gz...done unzipping cutils.info.gz... unzipping cutils.info.gz...done unzipping dc.info.gz... unzipping dc.info.gz...done unzipping diff.info.gz... unzipping diff.info.gz...done unzipping dvips.info.gz... unzipping dvips.info.gz...done unzipping ed.info.gz... unzipping ed.info.gz...done unzipping fileutils.info.gz... unzipping fileutils.info.gz...done unzipping gcc.info.gz... unzipping gcc.info.gz...done unzipping gdk.info.gz... unzipping gdk.info.gz...done unzipping glib.info.gz... unzipping glib.info.gz...done unzipping gnuplot.info.gz... unzipping gnuplot.info.gz...done unzipping gperf.info.gz... unzipping gperf.info.gz...done unzipping grep.info.gz... unzipping grep.info.gz...done unzipping gtk.info.gz... unzipping gtk.info.gz...done unzipping gzip.info.gz... unzipping gzip.info.gz...done unzipping indent.info.gz... unzipping indent.info.gz...done unzipping info-stnd.info.gz... unzipping info-stnd.info.gz...done unzipping info.info.gz... unzipping info.info.gz...done unzipping iostream.info.gz... unzipping iostream.info.gz...done unzipping ispell.info.gz... unzipping ispell.info.gz...done unzipping jargon.info.gz... unzipping jargon.info.gz...done unzipping jed.info.gz... unzipping jed.info.gz...done unzipping kpathsea.info.gz... unzipping kpathsea.info.gz...done unzipping latex.info.gz... unzipping latex.info.gz...done unzipping libc.info.gz... unzipping libc.info.gz...done unzipping libgtop.info.gz... unzipping libgtop.info.gz...done unzipping make.info.gz... unzipping make.info.gz...done unzipping mtools.info.gz... unzipping mtools.info.gz...done unzipping mysql.info.gz... unzipping mysql.info.gz...done unzipping ogonkify.info.gz... unzipping ogonkify.info.gz...done unzipping rluserman.info.gz... unzipping rluserman.info.gz...done unzipping screen.info.gz... unzipping screen.info.gz...done unzipping sh-utils.info.gz... unzipping sh-utils.info.gz...done unzipping tar.info.gz... unzipping tar.info.gz...done unzipping textutils.info.gz... unzipping textutils.info.gz...done unzipping time.info.gz... unzipping time.info.gz...done unzipping web2c.info.gz... unzipping web2c.info.gz...done unzipping wget.info.gz... unzipping wget.info.gz...done unzipping yodl.info.gz... unzipping yodl.info.gz...done Creating temporary dir in /usr/share/info/...done Composing main Info directory...

All those unzips means that XEmacs is trying to look into each and every of my info files (quite a bunch, I run Debian), and the "(New file)" messages suggest bad coding, as if some low-level code is trying to use find-file or such. Even on my all-cool 500MHz pentium at work, unzipping all that junk takes some time. Before I hack into the code, does anyone know what's supposed to be happening?
