Order of usepackage causes error with footnote and xcolor












0















Attempting to compile the following,



documentclass[answers]{exam}

usepackage{footnote}
usepackage{xcolor}
makesavenoteenv{solution}

begin{document}
begin{solution}
Hello.footnote{Goodbye.}
end{solution}
end{document}


I get an error on the line calling footnote about a spurious group-closing symbol. If, instead of the xcolor package, I use something else like amsmath or fullpage, no error occurs. Furthermore, if I switch the order of the usepackage statements for xcolor and footnote, no error occurs.



From reading this post, I saw that some packages require the ordering of usepackage to be a certain way. Is this one of those cases, or is something else going on? Intuitively, footnote and xcolor seem completely unrelated.
