[tex-live] Corrupted copy of small2e.tex in TeX Live

[Philip Hirschhorn]

Folks,

There are at least two copies of small2e.tex in TeX live, 

/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pdfx/small2e.tex

and

/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/small2e.tex

The first of those two is (slightly) corrupted in TeX Live 2011, 2010,
and also 2009.  (I only just noticed this.)

Here's the output of

diff /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pdfx/small2e.tex /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/small2e.tex

--------------------------------------------------------------------

That first line (the \usepackage) is, I assume, an intentional
change.  The other two changes seem to be errors:

  Long dashes are typed as three dash character

was changed to

  dashes are typed as Long three dash character


and


  Remember, don't type the 10 special characters

was changed to

  Remember, don't $\left[\frac2a\right]H_n^1$ type the 10 special characters
