Bug in LaTeX2HTML 99.1 - Imagesize computed wrong

Appended is a complete minimal example that shows how l2h 99.1 does 
something wrong, l2h 98.1p did right.

Description of the error:

the document bug2.tex contains one picture, bild.1, which  is - for simplicity a figure originally createe
with MetaPost and included in  the document as EPS file.
The dimension of the picture  is exactly a square.
In order to prove that, it is wrapped with a framebox construct.

Sources: bug2.tex , bild.1

The resulting latex2html directory is found in ./bug2.l2h99.1
For comparison the correct result of the old 1998 version is in ./bug2.l2h98.1p

One sees best the wrong dimension by looking, e.g. with Netscape at the picture using View Info.
While the correct 98.1p version yields an image dimension of 151x151, i.e. a real square,,
the new 99.1 version yields 151x296, i.e. a rectangle with height almost double the width.

Analysis of the error:
The bug has nothing to do with the creating of the .gif file. It is already there
in the auxiliary fil images.tex.

I ran images.tex through latex and dvips (or xdvi) and got the same error:
See files test99/images.* and test98/images.*

I see that the file images.tex looks quite different in version 99.1 thatn in 98.1p,
however I cannot easily identify any further the cause of the error.

Of course in my real case the distortion does much more harm than in this example.

I am certainly willing to do my contribution to fixing the problem, but I would prefer to get in contact with the
author of the code that currently creates images.tex

How can I reach him?
