[Mac OS X TeX] problem with new teTeX

[Gerben Wierda]

<x-flowed>This could be the problem. I upgraded latex in my teTeX distribution and 
it seems the *latest* latex carries a very old pdftex.def. I used to 
ship 0.03f, the latest latex contains 0.03a and the current version is 
0.03h.

I'll update and put out a new dmg.
