[l2h] Problem with Gif generation after MiKTeX 2.4

[Peter Morling]

Dear Ross,

Thanks. I have run some tests as You suggested. And I have located the
problem to the AMSMATH package. I guess that this package changes some of
the math/image dimensions. How do I fix this problem?

I have attached my test data. Debug information is located in the file
'debug.out'. I hope this helps.

Best,
Peter
