I am helping a user who is using LaTeX and has a lot of mathematical
characters in his captions.   Regardless of how many `protects' he
inserts, there are some characters that will always bomb, eg. square
root, cube root and two mathematical characters (curly brackets, etc)
abutting  each  other.
 
Has anyone figured out a way around this fragile environment?
Somethings will still crack even if you manually edit the LOF file.
 
Any suggestions?
