The new ocamldocobjectend environment used in ocamldoc latex output was
introduced in version 3.08.0. If you have an earlier version of ocamldoc.sty
in the directory you generate the .tex files, it is not removed by ocamldoc,
and probably does not contain the definition of ocamldocobjectend. But If
there is no such file, ocamldoc generates the default one, with the correct
definitions.
