I think that teTeX-beta never had this bug. It was introduced by a "last minute" web2c-fix, shortly before TeX Live 7 was released. I was unsure about that fix and had not aapplied it to teTeX-beta. > Are there any specific releases of teTeX-beta and/or TeXlive that one > could recommend as not being afflicted in that particular manner? I think that only the first versions of TeX Live 7 are affected. The programs identify themself with a web2c-version that ends up with "x", 7.3.7x I think. Thomas
