[metapost] btex..etex debugging

Hi,

thanks Taco and Hans for the quick replies!

In my case it's actually very strange: the text exceeds the bounding
box by an apparently fixed amount to the left. For example if I do

draw(btex this is a test etex)
draw(bbox(btex this is a test etex))

the "th" wil stick out of the box. But hopefully the debugging will
bring clarification (I'll try tomorrow).

Best,
Stefan
