Dear All,

   I am using the memoir class to typeset a book that uses with a
custom pagestyle. I must have made some mistake in the definition,
because the blank verso page that is automatically inserted after a
chapter  ending on a recto page still has the regular headers instead
of empty ones. I read in the memoir manual (p.116) that an automatic
\cleardoublepage  should call \thispagestyle{cleared} where "cleared"
is just an alias for the "empty" pagestyle. Unfortunately, I must have
done something to modify the standard (and very much desired) memoir
behavior.
Can anyone spot a mistake in my definition of a custom pagestyle below
(which is part of small package with all the custom definitions I need
to follow specs)?

Many thanks,

Stefano
