The GNU indent program includes in Slackware 14 has a regression bug.
After searching, it seems there is an unofficial release 2.2.11, which could be located from Debian source. The release fixed the problem.
After downloaded the source from the above URL and also the Debian tar ball (indent_2.2.11.orig.tar.gz was gunziped, renamed to indent-2.2.11.tar then xzed). Slackware's official build script was downloaded also. It was modified to compile the newer version and include patches from Debian:

As I have installed texlive 2012 in stead of tetex from the stock Slackware, the newer version of texi2html program does not support the -number option anymore, it has changed to two separate options --number-footnotes and --number-sections.
A patched is developed for it to compile with the new texi2html:

The compilation went smoothly after applying all the patches and the regression is fixed.
