Wait a few days. It is in the next teTeX.dmg release. I am waiting for 
the OK from Someone on an included updated script and then I will 
release.

There is currently not the possibility to withstand the update 
procedure, other than applying these patches again after an update to 
your teTeX. The alternative is that I have to write a script to handle 
this. I might conceive of some simple mechanism, but it is not there yet.

OTOH, I would be happy to set larger values in the texmf.cnf that I 
distribute. I was planning to do so anyway.

There will be a release of teTeX.dmg shortly (within a few days).

It turns out I did update the tex location of texinfo but not the pdftex 
version.

To get best font results when using the tex-route (as opposed to pdftex):

	altpdftex --maxpfb file.tex

I'll look into this immediatey before releasing the new teTeX.dmg

Remove the following directory:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/pdftex/texinfo

run texhash

and try again.

Explanation: texinfo has been updated in my teTeX.dmg, but an old 
texinfo lives still in a pdftex subdirectory where it was necessary when 
texinfo and pdftexinfo differed. The old version is found by pdftex, the 
new one by tex. The old version can be safely removed now I released 
last summer with an updated texinfo.
