Hello again,

Below there is one macro (no arguments) which if used at
a certain position in the text causes a problem. When
replacing the macro call by its definition, will resolve
the problem.....

I have managed to reduce the problem to the odd 23
lines which are appended together with the error message
below.

Replacing \beginanswer in tmp.tex by its definition resolves
the problem.

It should be noted that changing the line:
    \textreference[Answer]{Answer}%
in m-tmp.tex to some ordinary text also gets rid of the
error.

I cannot see what's causing the problem below.
Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance.

Marc van Dongen

BTW Should I post such questions to this forum or
    is there a more appropriate way of doing things?
