[Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmul.ac.uk>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20001218-6

xdvi dies on the following hyperlink:

\special{html:<a href="http://www.research.att.com/cgi-bin/access.cgi/as/njas/sequences/eisA.cgi?Anum=001037";>}

\special{html:</a>}

It is fine with:

The error message is:
