[texhax] Bug with french and or babel

[Dominic Boudreau]

Hi
 
I have problems compiling a very simple code when I include the french command
 
\usepackage[french]{babel}
 
 whereas it works when I use
 
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
 
The problem is: winshell stops working (I have to kill the program) when trying to execute frenchb.ldf after having executed babel.sty.
 
My winshell version is 2.2.1
My LaTeX version is MIKTeX 2.4
My babel version is v3.8a
 
Nothing is written in the file .log and in the file .aux there is only 
\relax
 
Here is the code of my program
 
\documentclass{report}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 

\usepackage[francais]{babel}
