Even if you can fix the infinite loop problems, some questions might
remain.  How is your code supposed to handle:

* Mtools:(mtools).        Mtools: utilities to access DOS disks in Unix.

which is an actual entry with one critical space removed.  The actual
entry starts:

* Mtools: (mtools).

What are your exact rules for which subtopic names are valid and which
ones are not?  Is:

Mtools:(mtools).        Mtools:

a valid subtopic name?

Sincerely,

Luc.
