One test <filename>psutils.test</filename> is known to fail if
using system libpaper because TeX Live includes old versions of both
<application>psutils</application> and <application>libpaper</application>
which result in a difference in the final decimal places of the psresize
test. The <application>libpaper</application> developer does not think
this is significant.
