Would be bad. Will you consult some experts in the Usenet or should I

Well, you never delivered out a running minimal example, which shows
up the behaviour independently of the month in which we actually

\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}", but never said, what does exactly mean
"fail" in this case. So I could only guess.
