The problem is the TwipsToMM() and ReverseTwipsToMM() functions in drwlayer.cxx.
 These functions are inherently "lossy," as they convert twips to hundredths-mm
using a pre-defined constant.  So a twips value of 6803 twips (from 12cm ->
twips [0]) becomes 11954 HMM after the TwipsToMM() call.  (Not that TwipsToMM()
gets 6803, it gets 11.50cm->twips, but the point is that TwipsToMM() is still
"lossy.")
