Hello,
last week a bug report for the Linux Debian distribution was brought to
the attention of the CTAN maintainers, concerning a problem with the
boxes.mp macros of MetaPost.
The following patch to boxes.mp was proposed:
--- .texmf/metapost/base/boxes.mp Tue Mar 26 00:00:00 1996
+++ /usr/share/texmf/metapost/base/boxes.mp Fri May 22 22:23:15 1998

extra_beginfig := extra_beginfig
& "boxjoin();save pic_,sproc_,pproc_;def clearboxes=enddef;";
-extra_endfig := extra_endfig & "clearboxes";
+extra_endfig := extra_endfig & "clearboxes;";
This looks OK to me, at least at first sight.
The bug report and subsequent messages are available via
http://bugs.debian.org/182211
All the best
Rainer Schöpf
(Speaking for CTAN, this time)
