Have you modified anything that the .cls file normally sets ?

I've never seen this kind of effect before, and find it hard to believe
that it occurs in one of the standard \LaTeX\ classes.
Please post an example consisting of:

   a.  a source document which shows this behaviour when processed on 
your system;
   b.  the .log file when you run this on your system;
   c.  any extra packages that you load, that aren't part of the standard
        (La)TeX distribution.

Please try to reduce the example as much as possible, so that there is 
no
need to download extra images, etc.

That is what should happen.
So there must be some kind of conflict.

I doubt very much that that is where the error lies.
