Ok, that works great. Maybe the documentation should be changed to
mention this. Right now,
http://lilypond.org/development/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Paper-size.html
says to just have papersize = "foo" at the top-level.

I just installed 1.3.148.uu1 and this problem went away for me. I
don't know if I did something wrong in 1.3.145, or what, but I
installed both the same way.
