latex2html: Thin space between 2 dashes

[Stephen J. Sherman]

In using latex2html 98.1p1, I discovered that the following latex:

-\,-

translates to only one dash in html, rather than two dashes.  Apparently, since html 
does not support a thin space, latex2html ignores the \, and treats the construct as 
-- (a medium dash for number ranges), which is represented in html as a single dash.  
Can this problem be patched?
