Could you be more specific by running one of our standard examples and
giving the exact command-line options where you are seeing the problem?  It
is possible you are seeing a rotation bug for a specific device rather than
a core issue. I have just run our first standard example using -dev xwin
with -ori 0, -ori 1, -ori 2, and -ori 3, and the default 4:3 aspect ratio is
preserved in the results.  Historically, I have also run this test on other
devices with good results as well. However, I may have missed one.

I do agree for all devices there are obvious problems (rectangles turn into
parallograms) for non-integral -ori options such as -ori 1.2, but that is a
well-known long-standing problem which nobody has been motivated to figure
out, yet.
