[tex-k] bug report for makeindex

[Karl Berry]

Hi Paulo,

      \item [{M}]\begingroup conjugate\nomeqref {0}\nompageref{2},
    \nompageref{4}

Not that I know the ins and outs of everything makeindex does, but this
result does not seem completely surprising to me, since 2,3 is
consecutive and 2,4 isn't. So different output doesn't seem like a bug,
necessarily. What happens with 2,5?

    This is a problem because packages like "nomencl" expect the output
    format in a particular way.

It expects all references to be within one \nompageref command?
Maybe that needs to be changed, if reliability is desired.
Or maybe there is some easy makeindex configuration parameter that can
be set to force that? I don't know without researching, which you can do
just as well as me :).

I see that Boris is one of the nomencl maintainers, so cc-ing him so he
can weigh in and what should change here.
Boris, Paulo's original msg is here:
