I have come across a "weird error" when using SHOWIDX.STY.  If an
indexed document contains index entries like \index{width},
\index{depth}, or \index{height}, then TeX halts with a "Missing
number, treated as zero" error.  If one asks for more help you are
told to look up "weird error" in the TeXbook.

My question is, has anybody heard of this before, and is there a
bugfix out there somewhere?
