OK.

[ wrong scaling with \footnotesize ]

Thanks for the example; this shows that it's in fact the same bug
as with \textsc{}, which doesn't occur any more with 22.40g (and
more recent versions). (For the record, the workaround for 22.40f
is to use the `xdvi -not1lib').

well, it seems that otherwise I'd never learn about the bugs
posted here ... ;-}
