That's true, but not relevant in this case. The source is just the
preferred form for editing or updatable. Given that CTLau.html is no
longer being distributed from it's original source and is not,
therefore, updatable from that source, either form would work for
editing.

No, that's not what I am suggesting. There is no point generating a
file from a source file if the source file never changes (it hasn't done
for 15 years) and if the generated file is always the same. It seems
worth doing independent of this bug.
Still, it's an independent issue, I shall see if I can figure the source
of the problem otherwise.
