I get Maxim's file to work fine with just: 
\documentclass[letterpaper,10pt]{article} --- but even without it, the 
system here is set to letterpaper. So either way it works.

Do different mirror locations for downloading TeXLive have different 
default settings for paper size (a4paper for Europe, letterpaper for US)?
