I have just found the cause:

 From strace output it can be observed that version 6.1
get an access violation exception after trying to read from the
.infokey file.

And then, info-6.1 crashes if the .infokey file contains the lines that
disable the default key bindings by overriding them with the action
'invalid'
according to as described in info-stnd manual.

Perhaps it is an upstream bug.

Thanks for the report.  I can confirm this on 64-bit Cygwin but not
32-bit.  I'll look into it.

This was indeed an upstream bug, which is now fixed. I'll issue a new release with the fix.
