[OS X TeX] problem with \caption in Mactex 2009

[Raphael Attie]

I've made a few test (see below). Indeed it is working for standard  
document class, like book, amsbook, article, report.

I never tried it with 2007 but \caption is not compatible with the  
{slide} and {letter} document class. (i guess it is not supposed to be  
compatible anyway)

For in-house style files, like the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, i  
confirm that it was working fine with MacTex 2007 and is NOT working  
with MacTex 2009.
I quote from http://www.aanda.org/content/view/129/173/lang,en/    
(checked today, haven't changed since 2006) :
The A&A document class was derived from the LaTeX2e article.cls based  
on TEX version 3.141 and LaTeX2e.

For the above tests that were not working, i had for each case a  
warning from the \caption package, specifying that it was not  
compatible with the documentclass used.

However, for the "in-house" specific style file "thesis" class, which  
is based on the book document class, such warning was not issued, and  
went straight to the typeset-crash issuing the error :

! Undefined control sequence.
\captionlabelfont at default ->\cph at font

Any idea ? thanks for your help


Tex file below :
