[texhax] ntheorem and hyperref (resent)

Seems to be a bug!  Try putting this in your preamble (spot the difference):

\makeatletter
\def\thref#1{%
   \expandafter\ifx\csname r@#1 at type\endcsname\None
     \PackageWarning{\basename}{thref: Reference Type of `#1' on page
      \thepage \space undefined}\G at refundefinedtrue
     \else\csname r@#1 at type\endcsname~\fi%
   \expandafter\@setref\csname r@#1\endcsname\@fourthoffive{#1}%
}%
\makeatother

You might want to write to the authors of ntheorem - I'm afraid I don't have
time.
