Bug#349172: tetex-bin: xdvi comes up with a wrong papersize

[Helge Hafting <helge.hafting@broadpark.no>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-13
Severity: normal


Fine-tuning some margins in a memoir document, I discovered that xdvi
 must use a wrong papersize.  The text sometimes went beyond bottom
of the virtual paper in xdvi. 

The document uses A4 paper size, and printing or conversion to pdf
shows no problems with this.  But xdvi uses a shorter kind of paper.

My texconfig is set to use A4 paper as default, and this used to
work before.  I don't know exactly when it went wrong.
