Thank you again for the suggestions and sorry for a very confusing
case! It is always the same problem: the find out what is wrong is
much more difficult! Once it is done, everything becomes less
mysterious. So it is in my case, I finally have found out what the
problem was: in one part of the document, each page is a close
environment, like this:
--pagebreak-- start of an environment
text text text *sectioning command* text text text
end of the environment --pagebreak-- - start of an environment
text text text +label1+ *sectioning command* +label2+ text text text
end of the environment --pagebreak--
Now the commands that trigger the counter sometimes occur on the
previous page and thus cease to be effective at the end of the
environment. Accrodingly, all the labels that are supposed to receive
their values from the previous page did not work, as the envirnoment
boundary intervened. so +label1+ in the sketch above does not work or
gets the value from elsewhere and +label2+ works just as I
expected.... I should have seen this obvious fact myself, but I am
working on a huge project with some other collaborators and we have
been doign this book for more than 3 years now, so it is not quite
easy to see immediately the implications of everything that has been
redefined or programmed in a different way in the past.... Anyway
thanks to everybody who looked through the complicated examples before!
