Today I received snail mail from Knuth. He is absolutely not amused
about the 'official' epsf.tex (2.7.4) with '\leavevmode' inside
'\epsfbox'. This version not only breaks 'skew-ternary-calc.w' and a few
other example CWEB programs, but "would require thousands of changes to
TAOCP."

Would those in charge of epsf.tex on CTAN and TeXlive please consider
fixing this in a compatible way. Maybe it would be feasible to separate
epsf.tex for plain TeX with the original functionality from epsf.sty for
LaTeX with the extra '\leavevmode'.

Best, Andreas
