Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it does conflict with memoir, just
like glossary.sty does. On the minimal example I get the error
message:

! LaTeX Error: Command \printglossary already defined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

l.1250 }


Which is curious, since glossaries uses \printglossaries. There's no
way to file a bug on memoir that I know of, but I might post it on
comp.text.tex...

Thanks again.
