I have been trying to help him on the TeXShop forum and I it would  
have been helpful if he posted some of what I discovered. First of  
all, the kth-mag class uses memoir and it appears to me that the issue  
is with memoir. If I try typesetting just the following:

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\begin{document}
Hey.
\end{document}

I get the error he describes. This is odd because the memoir  
documentation specifically mentions that it supports the subfigure  
package. In fact, the author mentions that there was a clash at one  
time and that it has been fixed (first a subfigure option was needed  
and then he states that even that is no longer needed).

At this point I am stumped since what I show above is, I think,  
supposed to work.
