[tex-live] Bug in the devnag preprocessor

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hi Peter,

I am looking at your files and am not able to reproduce your exact
output with my current version. If I go back to TL2011, I get the same
as your st65.tex, the preprocessor from the latest TL2014 gives the
same result as your st65x.tex. Could you verify that it works for you?
I see some fixes in TeX Live svn repository that have not been
reported upstream to us. If the output is OK, I will port them to our
project version.
