[texhax] Latex examdesign class: bug with \ref'ing a labeled equation

[Mauricio Calvao]

Hi Herbert

The Kile environment takes care, in principle, of as many runs as 
necessary to figure out the dependencies. At any rate, I did run Latex 
several (more than 3 times) times on the minimal .tex code which I 
recently provided as a reply to Philip's message.

What happens is that, curiously the equation numbering is correctly 
generated, but the reference (labeling) is undefined; the exact .log 
transcript is:

In fact, I am using a modified version (for the Portuguese language) within the directory of the .tex source file itself, which, I guess, should be used INSTEAD OF any version in the system texmf file tree, right? Is this error suggesting that somehow the character @ is getting mixed up in the class?? How can I find out who the current maintainer of the package and his/her email is??
