cite package doesn't appear to work with tufte-latex 3.5.0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(Please attach an example .tex file demonstrating the problem or bug.)

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:

Compiling with the "cite" package gives an error.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Error:
Runaway argument?

What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?

3.5.0 with MacTeX 2011 (texlive 2011)

Please provide any additional information below.

Kevin was nice enough to give me a fix two years ago for my promotion docs. 
That was when he was in prep for a 3.0.0 release. Perhaps he'll indulge me now 
that I'm up for promotion again. :)

Happened to me too. In fact, it will give an error unles there is a \sidenote before the first apparition of \cite. Weird. Still, no one seems to care since 2011 and I realised the "cite" package is mostly useless [at least for me] inside tufte-latex...
