slice 1.3.6 hangs on a file

Hi,

I had gotten and compiled slice 1.3.6, and it works fine (the speedup for
large files is great), except for one thing - it seems to hang /as the 9th
pass of wml 2.0.2/ on one of the files from the Debian web site. I tried
running it under strace and with -v3.

strace -ff -o log wml -q -D CUR_YEAR=2000 -o UNDEFuEN:related_links.en.html@g+w related_links.wml
[...what seems to be normal stuff...]
Process 27456 attached
Process 27456 detached
Process 27457 attached
Process 27457 detached
Process 27458 attached <-- slice process[1]
Process 27433 suspended
[hangs there, eating 100% CPU, until interrupted]

Everything is attached. The "log" file is the log from using wml -v3, and
log.27458 is the log of the slice subprocess that hung.

It worked with slice 1.3.4. This is on Linux 2.2.16, glibc 2.1.2, Perl
5.005_03.

Denis Barbier recommended this version of slice for building www.debian.org
etc, but we can't upgrade until this problem is solved, so please help
quickly :) If you need me to provide anything else, just ask. TIA!
