Dear Mark,
a user of mdwtools has reported the following bug to the Debian
GNU/Linux Bugtracking system, and submitted a patch. I have checked that
the error persists in the version that can currently be found on CTAN,
and that the patch works on that version.
Would you be so kind and consider fixing the version on CTAN?
Regards, Frank=20
P.S. I'm Cc-ing Thomas Esser, the maintainer of the tetex package.
