teTeX-2.0.2_2, compiled from port

	
>Description:
	dvips seems read the next @-line for one line paper sizes
	and puts it (partly) in the output. This generates incorrect PS.

>How-To-Repeat:

With the following first two paper configurations in
/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps

----------------------------------------------------------------------
@ letterSize 8.5in 11in
@+ % Some harmless comment

@ A4size 210mm 297mm
@+ %%PaperSize: A4
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I get
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
%%BeginSetup
%%Feature: *Resolution 600dpi
TeXDict begin
A4size
 end
%%EndSetup
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
in my output file 	

>Fix:

If I add a second line to the papersize definition, 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
@ letterSize 8.5in 11in
@+ % Some harmless comment
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I get 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
%%BeginSetup
%%Feature: *Resolution 600dpi
TeXDict begin
% Some harmless comment
 end
%%EndSetup
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Which does no apparent harm.
