    [I'm not sure where to take this question, but since it seems to have only happened with tetex, which I obtain as a Sid package, perhaps someone here will know about this.[

    Something is not working properly on this installation of TeX/LaTeX. At home, I wrote an exam, emailing it to work. At work, using TeTeX, the formatting of the two column mode is not working: both columns of the test (I use examdesign.cls for exams) are crammed into the left column of the page, while the headings, etc., at the top of the page are all ok, across the whole page, as intended.

    I've seen this before, when trying to print from examdesign with the paralist package, and I have seen it when two TeX distributions are both installed on the system (TeTeX from Debian and TeXlive as well): when I removed TeTeX from that system, the problem ceased. That was a year ago, however. Now, the problem has crept up a couple of times again. This time, I am at a loss.

    Any suggestions?
