[OS X TeX] amstex-babel bug

[Piero D'Ancona]

Hi co-listers.

For those of you who need the combination
amsart+babel in a non-english language, and
are annoyed by the running title bug (i.e.,
you get a running title like
"italianSHORTTITLE OF THE PAPER" instead of
"SHORTTITLE OF THE PAPER" as expected),
I have a quick fix: just add after \maketitle the line

\let\languagename\relax

This is just a dirty trick but it solves the problem
and in my tests produces no collateral damage.
Be sure to put the above line before any
sectioning commands (where the marks for the \output
routine are set). Still waiting for a true fix of course.

Enjoy,
Piero
