latex's ltxdoc class (\documentclass{ltxdoc}) is
configured to use a4 paper:
[multics!jhawk] ~texsrc/source/latex/base> kpsewhich ltxdoc.cfg
/usr/athena/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/ltxdoc.cfg
[multics!jhawk] ~texsrc/source/latex/base> cat `kpsewhich ltxdoc.cfg`
\ProvidesFile{ltxdoc.cfg}%
[2001/06/05 v1.0 teTeX: LaTeX documentation setup]
\PassOptionsToClass{a4paper}{article}
This is poor :(
It's also a problem under Athena linux.
This generally only arises when one is trying to latex other
people's documentation (in my case, the beamer class).
My workaround was to set TEXINPUTS appropraitely and create a copy of
ltxdoc.cfg with that line commented out.
