Stefan:

I too am quite busy right now, but there is one thing that you might
consider changing.  Enclosed is a fix for a bug which causes (non-k)
xdvi to report "corrupted dvi file" too often.  I'm not sure where it
would fit in in xdvik, though, since you seem to have gotten rid of
the check_dvi_file() routine.
