I'm trying to use todonotes with amsbook documentclass. I can add a todo (using \todo{fix this}) to part of the text and I can generate a Todo list for the table of contents using \todototoc, but the compilation has some problems.
From looking at the todonotes documentation I have seen that the package has a known conflict with amsart and a fix is supplied in the documentation. The fix doesn't quite work for amsbook and I don't know enough about what it's doing to edit it.
The problems are that whilst compiling the LaTeX I get the warning that \todototoc is an undefined control sequence. Ignoring the warning and continuing the compilation, I see that the \todo I have created is not put on the same page as the heading for the list.
A smallish working example follows.
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{amsbook}
\usepackage[linktocpage]{hyperref} % for links
\usepackage{todonotes}
\begin{document}
\title{A sample book in amsbook style}
\author{me}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\todototoc % put an entry for the list of todos in the table of contents
% \listoftodos This is the usual command for making a list of to dos
% The following was taken from the todonotes documentation on how to resolve a problem with the amsart class.
% It doesn't quite work for amsbook as the list entries are put on the page after the "Todo list" heading.
\makeatletter
\providecommand\@dotsep{5}
\makeatother
\listoftodos\relax
\chapter{The test chapter}
Some text\todo{really need some more text!}
\end{document}
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

The problem is that
amsbookdefines\@starttocwith two arguments (I don't think it was a wise decision). So you have to redefine\listoftodosto pass correctly what\@starttocwants:\todototocis not needed asamsbooktakes care of it.
