I applied the patch to the stable branch here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ab775508dff9). The only thing I did was change the string concatenation to use Octave matrix syntax rather than calling out to sprintf.

No, good point. Opening another bug report about that, since this is about the regression in the stable release in non-GUI mode.

Does the doc browser of the gui work with compressed info files?

This is my fault, I neglected to test the new detection code on a build with compressed info files. The info command silently adds the .gz extension but the code in doc.m to detect the info file does not.

Distributions can work around this by running configure with an argument of "infofile=/usr/share/info/octave.info.gz" but this seems better fixed in the function since it used to work.
