Have these patches been applied to the versions of dvips and pdftex in the minimals?
Not for dvips for a simple reason. It's not in minimals. The sources for minimals contain the latest stable pdftex branch (that's returning errors during compilation at the moment).
That's curious. There's a file called dvips in my minimals-context/tex/ temf-osx-intel/bin/ It seems to be dated 9/17/07 The version of pdftex is newer than the patched one: July 22 2009 vs. March 31 2009. I'm going to assume it's OK. Taco Hoekwater wrote:
Question: is this still a problem for luatex 0.44? (Please say no).
I applied a patch tagged 'Melissa O'Neill' on March 22 (included as of luatex-0.36.0), which I think is the one this is about.
Best wishes, Taco
That looks right. Thank you!

Sorry. In that case I take my word back. It may be in minimals, but I would be surprised if it worked at all. (Maybe I just forgot to kick it out to obsolete.) Mojca
