hello list,

i know, this list is more for pdftex.  if there's a list
for pdflatex please direct me to it.

i am typesetting a book but not for printing just regular
electronic publishing.  for convinience i would like to
have links to the particular chapters.  i have 2 test cases:
with and without the tocloft package.  my problem is,
that the links go nowhere.  

without the tocloft package after clicking on the link (in xpdf)
the same page is diplayed, with the tocloft package
always the first chapter is displayed.  frankly, i lack the skills
to debug this issue, and i am not sure whose fault is this
(pdflatex, hyperref, tocloft).  i use hyperref regularly and
this is the first time the links are not right.  somebody else
could test this book?
(3.14159-1.10b, hyperref 2003/01/22 v6.73n, tocloft 2003/01/20 v2.3b)

please see the example at the end of this mail which is the
skeleton of the book i am working on.
