Hmmm...  Works for me.  (Famous last words...)

I am at commit #763eb4b811f9 (Fix resizable-hash figures).

I also sometimes see odd errors like this due to an interrupted run that
leaves bogus .aux files around.  A "make clean" will clear this up.

I am also using an oldish version of latex.  Let me see what happens
with a more recent version...  Well, on that system, it complains about
pstricks.sty not being present.  :-/

In the meantime, here is the version of latex I am using:

	k$ latex --v
	pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)
	kpathsea version 5.0.0

CCing the mailing list in case someone knows how to solve this one.
