I was looking into a problem that occurs while building the HTCondor
documentation on debian unstable (Sid). Figures and tables with captions
cause latex2html to go into an infinite loop.
I did further research on this problem and found this posting about how
perl 5.18.1 broke latex2html.
https://github.com/Starlink/starlink/issues/10
The very last post in the thread mentions the root cause and a fix.
It points to a redhat bug report on about a regression in perl 5.18 with
\8 and \9 back-references which are used in latex2html when processing
captions.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978233
So, it looks like we need a fixed perl to proceed.
