[pdf] erroneous pdf output

[Sanjay Vohra <spiff@seb2.eng.ohio-state.edu>]

Hi all

I tried running this file with
texexec --pdf test.tex
and the pdf file cannot be read by acroread.
I have also included the log <apologies for that>.
Another thing the texexec stops due to something about
units and doesnt complain if no background thing is used.
