That fixes the problem on my end; thanks!

Will you be updating the defintions of \tfrac, \dfrac, and so forth in 
m-newmat to match?  I admit to not being too sure whether I think it's a 
good idea to support using math constructs such as \frac outside of math 
mode, but I do think that if one's going to do that, it's good to be 
consistent and do it with the variants too.
