I cannot reproduce this (but I am not running the exact same 
version as you).  Does it happen only with that URL, does it happen
only with `-dump'?  I can't see anything unusual with that site.

First suspicion: your files are out of sync.  Don't rely on the
Makefiles to recompile everything necessary after changing something
(or appying new patches).  Do a `make clean' unless you are 
absolutely sure you understand what is affected by the changes.

The UC stuff is my character translation stuff which Fote has added
to Fotemods.  (Think UC may stand for UniCode..)

If recompiling after `make clean' doesn't help, set breakpoints
before and after the call to LYGetChartransInfo(me) in actually_set_style
of HTML.c. Do a gdb `p *me' and `p *me->node_anchor->UCStages' before and
after LYGetChartransInfo(me) gets called.

How do you get that idea?  No, it is processing the initial HTML tag,
so some initialization is happening.

Without any clue what you are working on, it's hard to say.
Again, make sure older .o files are removed.  The HTML.h files
in both source directories should be identical.
