	If anyone has run across the following problem (bug?) I would
appreciate your input.

	When using \eqalign, if I have an alignment character & in between a
\left( and a  \right), TeX responds with a   `Missing { or right)' message and
tries to insert brackets etc.

	When I use \bigg( and \bigg), no problem.  I want to use \left( and
\right) to have the brackets sized correctly.  Any insight anyone could offer
would be much appreciated.

	P.S. this occurs on my version 2.93 of SBTEX and on the VAX/VMS
version.

	Thanks.  P.S. members of an avion species of identical plumage
congregate.
