So it is important that pgf be updated. However, in my opinion the correct solution would be to file an important (or even serious?) bug on pgf. And drop it from texlive. Your personal documents can still be fixed by installing pgf_1.01 in TEXMFLOCAL. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
