[texhax] LaTeX hangs up with $(\ref{label})$ and [spanish]{babel}

[Juan Ignacio Montijano]

Thanks for the answers.   Since it seems to be a "bug" perhaps the next 
version of the Spanish babel can take care of it.

In fact I do not need to write \ref{}  inside a math environment.  I was 
converting an old plain TeX document to  a LaTeX one.   In the old document 
I had a reference  $(3.1_1)$ and I changed automatically  3.1_1 by 
\ref{...} and I lost a lot of time investigating the reason of my problems.
