[OS X TeX] Footnote formatting

[Malcolm Ross]

Martin Steer points out that he doesn't see the behaviour I described 
earlier (see below), and, with apologies to the list, this seems to be 
an error produced by the preamble of some of my files, but not all. I 
have yet to identify the error, but I wouldn't want anyone to waste 
their time answering an unfounded question.

Thanks, Martin.

Malcolm
