Thanks for that, but \times is not causing the problem, it's ok to leave it
unprotected. The only problem is my \rms and \peak commands. If I remove them
all is well. I have not come across problems with built in latex commands
needing protection.
In fact the problem may not be protection at a
Thanks for that, Ross,
The \rms and \peak commands I defined are certainly causing the problem.
Replacing with something simple like
\newcommand{\rms}{\textbf{rms}~}
\newcommand{\peak}{\textbf{peak}~}
solves the problem (though its not what I wanted!)
However using
\DeclareRobustCommand{\rm

Regarding figure captions & disappearing figure numbers:
The first trick is to \protect every command that might get
translated to something different
before latex writes the aux file.
The second trick is to not use any of your own definitions, but to
write out explicitly what

see your .aux file.

John -
Try changing \times to \protect\times in your caption. Each and
every fragile symbol in the captions, (there
are typically a lot of them in math mode), needs to to have this
\protect prefix. See the latex book for what
fragile means, and see the associated .aux file that latex genera
