Hmm. It didn't help me that easily, though.
However, I found the error (bug) anyway... LaTeX2HTML does
not handle \index commands with special characters in the parameter,
such as \o for the Norwegian character 'o with a slash'. I haven't
tested it with accents or eightbit input yet...
I did test it with and \index{...@...} expression, with no
special character before @, but that didn't help either.
