[tex-live] exam + babel => latex hangs

[Lars Madsen]

Start by verifying that the package versions match. For example by using a different language to babel to make it compile. Or try with out babel first to check the versions

and failed. So it might be caused by something else.

Any idea how to debug further? Is there a step-by-step execution mode in
pdflatex, for example?
