Hi there,
This may help a little (or at least, explain what the error is): I
received exactly the same error message in a completely different
program. It occured because I tried to store something too large in a
dbm entry. The ndbm manpage has the following:
The sum of the sizes of a key/content pair must not exceed
the internal block size (currently 1024 bytes). Moreover
all key/content pairs that hash together must fit on a sin-
gle block. dbm_store() will return an error in the event
that a disk block fills with inseparable data.
In my case, I was able to cure the problem by using a different dbm
package instead of ndbm: I put the line
use 'GDBM_File';
in and the limitation went away. I guess you could try putting this
into the latex2html script (assuming you have GDBM_File.pm on your
system), but I wouldn't like to promise that this would work safely ;-)
Cheers
Dave McIntyre.
