Hi

No, you are not the only one who sees those errors. I also got
.............................................................................
Too many arguments for undef operator at latex2html line 2771, near "$trans)"
Too many arguments for undef operator at latex2html line 3076, near "$etmp)"
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at latex2html line 4404
.............................................................................

Best regards
