[OS X TeX] Rules failed

[David Arnold]

True, but the pgf part works just fine.

\newcounter{example}[section]
\renewcommand{\theexample}{\arabic{example}}
\newenvironment{example}[1]%
{\medskip\refstepcounter{example}%
	\strictpagecheck\checkoddpage
	\ifoddpage
	\noindent\tikz{%
		\draw[thick,webbrown] (0,0)
		--(\linewidth+2pt,0) 	node[right,fill=white]{\trythis{#1}}
		--(\linewidth+\marginparwidth,0);}
	\else
	\noindent\hspace{-\marginparwidth}\hspace{-\marginparsep}\tikz{%
		\draw[thick,webbrown](-\marginparwidth-\marginparsep,0)
		--(-\marginparwidth+2pt,0) node[right,fill=white]{\trythis{#1}}
		--(\linewidth,0);}
	\fi
	\par\noindent\textbf{EXAMPLE \theexample.}}%
{\par\smallskip
	\strictpagecheck\checkoddpage
	\ifoddpage
	\noindent\tikz{%
		\draw[thick,webbrown] (0,0)
		--(\linewidth+2pt,0)
		--(\linewidth+\marginparwidth,0) node[right]{$\square$};}
	\else
	\noindent\hspace{-\marginparwidth}\hspace{-\marginparsep}\tikz{%
		\draw[thick,webbrown](-\marginparwidth-\marginparsep,0)
		--(\linewidth,0) node[right]{$\square$};}
	\fi
	\par\medskip}


It's when I try to add marginpars that things begin to fail. So I thought I'd turn to this list. I even tried \strictpagecheck before each margin par.
