[l2h] Strange HTML problem

Hi,

When I send a tex file to Latex2html it creates files with very strange HTML
tags in it.

The command-line I use is:
  latex2html -split 0 -ps_images -discard -dir /tmp some-file.tex
What I would like to get is a single HTML file WITHOUT any image files in it
or included with it.

The HTML I receive from latex2html looks like:
==========================
<#4#><#4#><#231#>
<#5#><B>FCC 600 - Schedule A
<BR>September 1997</B><#5#>
<#231#>
<#6#>|l|l|<#6#> 
<#261#><#232#><B><#7#><FONT SIZE="+2">FCC</FONT><#7#>FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION</B><#232#> 
<BR><#233#><B><#8#><FONT SIZE="+2">600</FONT><#8#></B><#233#> 
<BR><#234#><B><#9#><FONT SIZE="-1">Schedule A</FONT><#9#><#10#><FONT
SIZE="+2">Administrative Information</FONT><#10#></B><#234#> 
<BR>
....

==================================

where of course it should look like normal HTML (so starting with a <HTML>
tag, then a few <META ....> tags, and then the BODY part).
I tried numerous things to get latex2html to produce the correct output
(including playing around with environment settings like TERM and
COLORTERM), but nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong??
