Yes, the URL in the initial description is now:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/langref/Probe_points.html#SECTION0006120000000000
00000
an improvement, but not perfect yet, alas.

Revise the generation of the documentation so that the files names are based on
the chapter names. However, the indices into the interior of the html files are
still rather cryptic labelling.  latex2html doesn't seem to have a way to
generate some more human friendly labels for the index.

This is being generated by latex2html from a latex file in doc/langref.tex
According to the man page for latex2html has the following option:

      -long_titles <num>
              Same  as  setting: $LONG_TITLES = <num>; Instead of the standard
              names: node1.html, node2.html,... the filenames  for  each  HTML
              page  are  constructed from the first <num> words of the section
              heading for that page, separated by the ‘_’  character.   Commas
              and  common  short words (a an to by of and for the) are omitted
              from both title and word-count.  Warning: Use this  switch  with
              great  caution.  Currently there are no checks for uniqueness of
              names or overall length. Very long names can easily result  from
              using this feature.
