Are you sure this is really all that is happening?

I cannot reproduce your problem.
But just a couple of things that might help.
1. It is best to do verbatim-like environments as
\begin{verbatim}
test
\end{verbatim}
or
\verb|test|
As a matter of course it is *always* preferable to put the
\begin{...}
on a line by itself, and the
\end{...}
also on a line by itself.
Although (La)TeX does not require it, it makes good logical sense
to do so in terms of document structure and readability.
Furthermore, there are some environments where LaTeX2HTML *requires*
the environment delimiters to be on separate lines when the contents
are to be interpreted as verbatim text, or other special purposes.
So it is a good habit to get into.
2. The final \\ in a {tabular} is redundant.
Even in LateX itself this can cause extra vertical space at the
bottom of the table layout.
In LateX2HTML, it causes an extra row of blank cells.

Can you run your failing job with -debug within a directory
that can be accessed across the web, and save the console messages
into a file. Make this directory and its siblings listable, and send me
the URL. I can then try to get an idea of what is going wrong, by
studying the temporary files that normally get deleted.

Nothing that is obvious to me.

Hope this helps,
