Um, yes, as a matter of fact someone reported this problem a few weeks
ago and I tracked down the problem, but I seem to have neglected to
notify the appropriate authorities.

If you look very carefully at line 25 of hangcaption.sty, you'll
notice the following at the end of the line: "\endcsname^^}"

The "^^" is the culprit.  This causes the following "}" to be
interpreted as an equals sign, thus causing TeX to complain about an
unfinished definition when it gets to the end of the file.  Delete
those two characters and everything should be fine.

I'll forward a fixed copy to SHSU.
