Re: Problem when using sig-alternate and savebox

I have the following latex code. But there are something like "AE" to
the left of the figure.

If I change documentclass from sig-alternate to article, the "AE" goes.
Is it a bug of sig-alternate?

Yes.

The offending line is

\newbox\savebox

which erases the pre-existing \savebox command.

It is a surprisingly stupid thing to do because:

a) sig-alternate never uses the \savebox box register
b) it *does* ise the \savebox command
c) if it had been \newsavebox\savebox there would have
been a sensible error message.

Delete that line in your copy; and complain.
