 Hi,
    I'm not very familiar with the maths mode under LaTeX. Does anyone know
    why the following problem occurs. We are using LaTex 2.98 and TeX 3.0.

    Thanks in advance.
    
    The included latex input produces an error that there is an extra }
    in the argument of caption. The problem is associated with having the
    sqrt function in there - it goes away if I remove the sqrt{}.

    \[ \sqrt{xyz}\]

    \vspace{5cm}
    \caption{Leaky bucket solutions, $\sqrt{xyz} $  }
    \end{figure}
    
    
    \end{document}
