[l2h] problem with primes

The 5th is a very dangerous construction, since " is frequently redefined
to produce accents. When it is overloaded in this way, you have to expect
trouble --- advice: do *not* use " for \prime accents in math-mode.

That depends upon which math-mode you are using,
according to command-line options and/or variable settings.
See, for example:

I'd have to delve deeper into the coding to see why
  \prime\prime\prime gives a different result to 
  \prime \prime \prime  in some situations.


All the best,
