Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-31
Severity: normal
If you run latex on a malformed tex file that consists of some text,
followed by a '\newpage' and optionally followed by some more text, then
latex will fail (obviously), but it will still produce a (very much broken)
dvi file. This file is useless and can produce strange results in scripts
like rubber.
Example file contents:
--------------------
Moo
\newpage
--------------------
Latex manages to produce a dvi file from this.

Next tim, you can close bugs yourself - just send the mail to
<bugnumber>-done@b.d.o instead of <bugnumber>@b.d.o, as I do in this
mail.
