Sometime in 2001 the default driver used by hyperref was changed from
`hypertex' to `dvips', to produce hyperref specials that work when
converting with ps2pdf. If you're not going to convert the DVI to PDF
via PS, but just view it with xdvi, just use:
\usepackage[hypertex]{hyperref}
(There's a feature request for supporting dvips specials on
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=662096&group_id=23164&atid=377583
but I haven't done anything about it yet).
More recent versions of xdvik (>= 22.40w) show a warning message if
such specials are used in the DVI file.
