Description:

Whenever I use the stabular package (part of texlive-latexextra), building with pdflatex causes it to hang. Here's a minimal example:
http://sprunge.us/OhKM

When I replace /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/sttools/stabular.sty with http://www.vtex.lt/tex/download/macros/stabular.sty, the test file builds correctly. However, that seems to be an outdated version.

Additional info:
* package version(s): texlive-latexextra 2012.29701-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Run pdflatex on the file http://sprunge.us/OhKM, with the most recent texlive-latexextra.
This task depends upon

Thanks.

There is probably a bug in the package, to be reported upstream. However, I would say you are misusing the package: shouldn't there be a "\\" at the end of the line?

The example causes pdflatex to hang even with a "\\" at the end of the line.

Will be fixed in texlive-latexextra 2013.33063-1
