bug in \seeindex

bug in \seeindex

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

The code in \seeindex has a bug. There was something in the mailing  
list about a year ago (2004-06-21), but as far as I can see, the  
patch Hans proposed then has been integrated into core-reg.tex.  
Here's a minimal test file:

\starttext

This \index{this} and \index{and} that \seeindex{this}.

\placeindex

\stoptext

And the error log:

! Argument of \@@filterlevelpart has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                 \par
<to be read again>
                    }
\doifprevlevelelse ...tor \@@filterlevelpart [#1]}
                                                   \edef  
\@@tocsectiontype {\...

\dosetpageregisterpage ...->\doifreglevelelse [#5]
                                                    
{\dodosetpageregisterpage ...
l.46 ...isterpage{index}{,}{3}{2::0:0:0:0:0:0:0}{}

Unfortunately, the bug messes up the .tui file, so even if you delete  
the \seeindex command, the file will not compile unless you delete  
the .tui manually. Ideas, anybody?

And I don't have a solution, but another bug in registers: if you  
modify my example like so:

\starttext

This \index{This} and \index{And} that \index{That}.

\placeindex

\stoptext

you'll see one interesting detail in the pdf: This and That are in  
the index under "h," And under "n" ==> capital letters are not taken  
into account in index generation, which is a trifle inconvenient.

hmm, not for me.
This and That are under 't', And under 'a'

OK, I have to modify my last mail: the bizarre sorting bug only  
occurs when I use newtexexec. The bug with /seeindex occurs both in  
newtexexec and "old" texexec. Thanks luigi, for looking at this!
