[tex-live] bug in the latest TeX Live snapshot.

    My guess is that something goes  
    wrong in the module <Handle a glue node for mixed...>, 

Especially since that appears to be mostly new code in etex 2.2
(although bearing some resemblance to code in the do_glue function in
etex 2.1), seems like a good guess.

Peter, Bernd, in case it's not obvious by now, we really need you.

Here is a simple file.tex, distilling from all the others that have been
posted:

    \output={\shipout\box255}
    \loggingall
    \TeXXeTstate=1

    \parindent=0pt
    \beginR\centerline{Vyr hVyryM}\endR

    \end

Processed with simply "etex file.tex".

There no interesting differences in the .log between etex 2.1 and 2.2
(all the glue set ratios are identical, for example), but the dvi's are
very different -- the text is off the page in 2.2.

Help?!

Thanks,
karl
