[l2h] Problem with Images

I've built latex2html, and do the "make test" to see whether it works
alright, but it fails on the images for the formulas with this error message:

Converting image #1 pstoimg: Error: "/usr/bin/pnmcrop < /tmp/l2h696/p718.pnm
| /usr/bin/pnmcrop -bot | /usr/bin/pnmcrop -l | /usr/bin/pnmcrop -r |
/usr/bin/pnmcrop -l | /usr/bin/ppmquant -floyd 256 | /usr/bin/pnmtopng
-interlace -trans '#ffffff'  > img1.png" failed: Illegal seek  

I've installed the latest version of netpbm, and checked that pnmcrop,
ppmquant and pnmtopng are actually in /usr/bin, which they are. I also
checked all the versions of the required programs, and I fulfill those
requirements (except the database stuff, which I did not check, since it
doesn't seem to have anything to do with this error, and I'm not doing an
install until the program actually works).

Any help would be much appreciated.
