[OS X TeX] Bug in \ref ???

[Donal B. Day]

It not  a bug - its a feature!

I have had this problem before and the solution is simple. The \label{}
has to go after the caption. This allows (in figure environment) to have
multiple figures with different captions and labels  so as to reference 
them individually.
