[Texi2html-bug] Interop bug with vindex called in macro and reading in a file in $Texi2HTML::Config::external_href

[Reinhold Kainhofer]

Hi Patrice,
Recently I'm running into another problem with texi2html, which seems to be 
some kind of strange interaction between reading in a file in the 
$Texi2HTML::Config::external_href function and index commands and refs called 
within a macro. Attached is a minimal sample .texi file together with an init 
file and some other file to be read in in external_href.

Place all three files into the same directory and process the file with:

texi2html  --init-file=texi2html_index_woes.init texi2html_index_woes.texi

The resulting errors are:
** Waiting for index cmd @vindex, got @cindex (l. 18)
** Waiting for index cmd @vindex, got @cindex (l. 19)
** Waiting for index cmd @cindex, got @vindex (l. 22 in ruser)
** Waiting for index cmd @cindex, got @vindex (l. 23 in ruser)
** Waiting for index cmd @vindex, got @cindex (l. 25)
BUG: 5 index entries pending

As soon as I remove the "while (<XREFFILE>) {..}" block from the init file, 
everything works again. Similarly, if I remove some of the @ruser macro 
calls, I get considerably less warnings for the index calls after that...

Am I doing something wrong (makeinfo processes the file just fine, texi2html 
also works if I don't use any init file, so I suppose the texi file is okay)?

Cheers,
Reinhold
