Re: pstricks problem?

Hi Mandar
I think you problem is not related with pstricks. Try to put the calling
to reference macro in another place (e.g. end of a line) and see what
happens. My pstricks experience did not give me this strange behaviour,
and maybe its related somehow with the itemize environment.
