Problem: WHEN A USER PROGRAM GIVES INFO AN ASCII STRING AS THE
ARGUMENT, INFO CAN FAIL TO MATCH THE STRING WITH A STRING IN ITS
MEMORY IF ANY CORRESPONDING WORDS IN THE STRINGS DIFFER IN BIT
POSITION 35.  THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN FOR ASCII TEXT (I.E. THE
CONTENTS OF BIT 35 SHOULD BE IGNORED BY INFO).

Diagnosis: INFO NOT CODED TO IGNORE BIT 35 OF ASCII TEXT.

Solution: CHANGE INFO TO RESET BIT 35 OF ALL TEXT IT RECEIVES
FROM USER PROGRAMS.
