Dear all,

Here are some information for reproducing/understanding the bug about:
 (1) the system I use,
 (2) the latex distribution I use,
 (3) the error message I get when converting dvi to pdf with Ghostscript 9.05
 (4) the list of packages that I use
 (5) the main latex file is catalog.tex
 (6) an attached zipped file containing all the files to reproduce the bug:
      . the main file is catalog.tex
      . catalog.tex uses preface.tex as well as the tex files that are in
        the ctrs directory.


You may look to the catalog.log file to see the messages that were produced by the Latex compilation.
If you want to compile yourself type the following commands:
 (1) cd catalog  % to go in the catalog directory
 (2) make pdf    % a command in the makefile that calls Latex and dvipdf

Best regards,

Nicolas Beldiceanu

p.s.: I could get the catalog converted to use pdflatex,
      but somehow I would much prefer to remain using dvipdf which
      produces smaller size pdf.
