There is a bug in PdfToHtml (version 0.83)

When I execute

pdftohtml -xml input.pdf output.xml

all is fine. The output looks like this:

....
<text top="363" left="81" width="413" height="61" font="1">Bla Bla</text>
<text top="422" left="81" width="514" height="40" font="2">Bla Bla</text>
<text top="1131" left="765" width="72" height="16" font="3">Bla Bla</text>
</page>
<page number="2" position="absolute" top="0" left="0" height="1188" width="918">
	<fontspec id="4" size="8" family="PalatinoLinotype" color="#ffffff"/>
	<fontspec id="5" size="11" family="PalatinoLinotype" color="#000000"/>
	<fontspec id="6" size="11" family="Arial" color="#000000"/>
	<fontspec id="7" size="6" family="TimesNewRomanPSMT" color="#000000"/>
	<fontspec id="8" size="9" family="TimesNewRomanPSMT" color="#000000"/>
<text top="104" left="81" width="5" height="14" font="4">Bla Bla</text>
<text top="144" left="81" width="33" height="18" font="5">Bla Bla</text>
.....

But when I execute the same with the additional parameter -stdout the XML code is mixed up with "link to page xyz":

....
<text top="363" left="81" width="413" height="61" font="1">Bla Bla</text>
<text top="422" left="81" width="514" height="40" font="2">Bla Bla</text>
<text top="1131" left="765" width="72" height="16" font="3">Bla Bla</text>
</page>
link to page 7  link to page 9  link to page 11  link to page 13  link to page 13 
<page number="2" position="absolute" top="0" left="0" height="1188" width="918">

	<fontspec id="5" size="11" family="PalatinoLinotype" color="#000000"/>
	<fontspec id="6" size="11" family="Arial" color="#000000"/>
	<fontspec id="7" size="6" family="TimesNewRomanPSMT" color="#000000"/>
