[l2h] Illegal seek in pstoimg

[William T. Martin]

I turned debugging on, I find than an error occurs in ppmtogif (ppmtogif:
EOF / read error reading magic number) when the latex2html image is
converted.  I am using LaTeX2HTML Version 2002 (1.67).  Any ideas?

Here is some of the output with -debug turned on:


77 % latex2html -debug -html 2.0 fall02
