[pdftex] pdfTeX, hyperref, glosstex bug - need some debugging advice

hello,

i wrote my diplomawork using standard latex with glosstex. now i would
like to convert it also to pdf with hyperlinks in it.

i use pdflatex and hyperref from MiKTeX 2.1 and i downloaded glosstex
from dante.

my document compiles with normal latex and hyperref. it also compiles
with pdftex but without hyperref. as soon as i use hyperref i get the
following errors:

the first errors are:

[2] (thesispdf.glx
! Argument of \@fifthoffive has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                \par
l.13 ... }{}{acr}{a}{\GlossTeXPage{n}{21}}

Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \@fifthoffive was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.13 ... }{}{acr}{a}{\GlossTeXPage{n}{21}}

Runaway argument?
\ifx \filename at ext \relax \edef \filename at ext {\XR at ext }\fi \def \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \filename at path was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.163


but later in the log there are also problems with the section command:

! Missing \endcsname inserted.
<to be read again>
                   \csname\endcsname
l.100 \section{The system in action}

Runaway argument?
{\normalfont \large \bfseries }{\write \@auxout {\string \@writefile
\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \@sect was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.103

! Missing \endcsname inserted.
<to be read again>
                   \csname\endcsname
l.104 \section{Conclusion}

Runaway argument?
{\normalfont \large \bfseries }{\write \@auxout {\string \@writefile
\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \@sect was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.107

Runaway argument?
{\normalfont \large \bfseries }{\write \@auxout {\string \@writefile
\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \@sect was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.117


finally the compilation stops with:

Runaway definition?
->\protect Review of some theoretical aspects of \protect \<let>-command
\ETC.
! File ended while scanning definition of \Hy at tempa.
<inserted text>
                }
<*> thesispdf.tex

! Emergency stop.
<*> thesispdf.tex

!  ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file not finished!


as said above the compilation works fine with pure latex, it works fine
with pdflatex alone without hyperref, but it does not work as soon as i
try to use pdflatex together with hyperref.

i know too little about the system to debug the problem myself, but
perhaps with some suggestions i could do the debugging. can anybody help
me?
