   The '*' is still here; presumably you didn't copy this
directly from your LaTeX source.

I've been unable to reproduce the problem, trying the '*'
both with and without extra optional arguments.

Please post a complete minimal example, and send also
the .log file that is produced when you try running it.
(The contents of the 'console' window from TeXshop may be
enough.) There may be relevant messages in there,
indicating some inconsistency with the packages and/or
classes that you are using. This might also indicate
old versions, or private variants, of some packages.
