Could someone please explain why this file compiles OK on MikTex on windows with no error, but on Linux with TexLive 2015 it gives an error?
\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ntheorem}
\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %DO NOT USE WITH LUALATEX, only with pdflatex
\usepackage[tracking,protrusion=true,expansion=true]{microtype}
\begin{document}

Now on Linux:
pdflatex foo2.tex

The difference is a change in
babel.defbetween 2012 and 2013:In TeXLive 2012
babel.defcontainsAnd there the example compiles.
This redefinition has then been dropped. Now the definition of
\LaTeXis unchanged and no longer can be used in math in current tex systems.
