Dear Sir,
Your solution works much better because it does not process the files
from m3D*. I copied them and pasted them in the same directory along
with picins.sty.

I commented out the torus.1 in chapter4*.tex file and it compiles
fine, with the exception of that file. Thank you very much for your
help.
Best Regards,
Antonio
