[l2h] "\verb|test|" produces "<code></code>" without content

[Theo Wilhelm]

Hello,
 
"\verb|test|" is translated into "<code></code>" without content 
(should be "<code>test</code>" I guess)
 
Can anybody help me? 
 
I have tried latex2html Version 2002-1 (1.69) as well as the current version
(1.7 ?). The current version I have installed manually as well as using the rpm 
for Suse Linux 8.1.
 
Thanks in advance and nice greetings from hot Innsbruck

Theo
