Re: alphalph package problem

I am trying to use alphalph package because I need more than 9 footnote
symbols in a single page.

I copied the example from alphalph manual but it complains about a
"missing number" being treated as zero.


%author command uses footnote symbols which are limited to 9!
%this extends it:
\usepackage{alphalph}
\makeatletter
\newalphalph{\fnsymbolmult}[mult]{\@fnsymbol}{5}
\makeatother
\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{%
\fnsymbolmult{\value{footnote}}%
}


I do not know why this is giving me the trouble mentioned.

I don't know it either:

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{alphalph}
\makeatletter
\newalphalph{\fnsymbolmult}[mult]{\@fnsymbol}{5}
\makeatother
\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{%
\fnsymbolmult{\value{footnote}}%
}

\begin{document}
A%
\makeatletter
\count@=0
\loop
\advance\count@\@ne
\footnote{a} %
\ifnum\count@<50 %
\repeat
\makeatother
\end{document}

Works fine for me with
alphalph.sty 2008/08/11 v2.1 Converting numbers to letters (HO)

Make a minimal example that shows the problem.
