[tex-live] Minimal Example where TL2011 breaks typesetting that worked in TL2010 (positioning on page)

[Andreas Hirsch]

Hi Ted,

quoting Ted Pavlic, [28.01.2011 19:00 +0100]:

I suggest to take a look at the logfiles and notice the versions of the
packages that are used. I suppose, that the things You mention are not
related to TeXLive itself but to the packages You use.
