Sorry if this is not the right place for this.

I recently upgraded to texlive. I use powerdot, so I followed the
instructions and updated the config.ps file as specified here:
http://tug.org/texlive/bugs.html

When I try to compile a powerdot presentation using texshop, I get an error
of the type:

/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/dvips/config/config.ps:4:/usr/texbin/dv
ips: strange line
 (
@+ %%BeginPaperSize: 11x17
@+ /setpagedevice where
@+  { pop << /PageSize [792 1224] >> setpagedevice }
@+ if
@+ %%EndPaperSize

And then it prints out the bulk of the config.ps file. At the end it
displays:

### ps2pdf13 /tmp/altpdflatex.1058-1192323169/baseline.ps
/tmp/altpdflatex.1058-1192323169/baseline.pdf

(baseline.tex is the name of the tex file)

Has anyone seen this before / knows what is going on?

Thanks,
