Hi Benoît,
I want to inform you of dblatex Debian BTS report #576217 [1], which
describes pdflatex runs repeating ad infinitum in case of:
- <book> document with german umlauts in headings
- dblatex processing options:
* latex.encoding=utf8
* latex.unicode.use=1
The problem is as follows:
pdflatex creates .aux and .toc files that toggle between two states,
thus dblatex won't detect a stable result and will trigger pdflatex
again and again…
The toggling is caused by warnings in the .aux and .toc files like
[Pleaseinsert\PrerenderUnicode {ü}intopreamble] at every second pdflatex
run.
Attached is a minimal TeX example [2] that demonstrates the toc
alternation, enabling the commented line resolves the problem. The
problem affects TeX Live 2009 as well as TeX Live 2007.
Attached is a hotfix [3] that works for german umlauts (I plan to
include this in Debian release 0.3-1 after further tests and unless you
suggest a better solution), however every non-ASCII character provokes
the problem, thus a fundamental solution must take another approach.

Description: Hotfix for BTS report #576217:
Avoid pdflatex runs repeating ad infinitum in case of:
- <book> document with german umlauts in headings
- dblatex processing options:
* latex.encoding=utf8
* latex.unicode.use=1
Please note that this patch only resolves the special case reported to BTS,
a fundamental solution must take into account also other non-ASCII characters,
e.g. î, …
