The following code illustrates a bug in 98.1p1.  I don't know if it
has any more far-reaching implications.  In this case it is highly
constrained.

   \documentstyle{report}
   \begin{document}
   
   \def\bno{\bf{no}}
   \newcommand{\lw}[1]{\lowercase{#1}}
   
   \section{bug}
   
   \lw{\bno}  % should produce boldface literal "no"
   
   \end{document}

latex2html gives this warning:

   Cannot find matching bracket for 11.;..

and produces this HTML:

   <P>
   tex2html_deferred<B>no  
   
   <P>
   </B>

This is a reduced case -- my actual LaTEX is not really this pointless
*G*.

All the components are necessary, including the \section command.
Take anything away, and it performs as expected.

JFYI.  If there is a end-user-comprehensible explanation I wouldn't
mind knowing it, since I am running into these "cannot find matching
bracket" problems quite a bit.
