Be that as it may, setting a new value for \grespacelinestext from my
LaTeX file seems to multiply this size rather than set it.
Calling
\setlength{\grespacelinestext}{5pt}
or
\grespacelinestext = 5pt
or even
\advance\grespacelinestext by 5pt
... makes the size considerably greater than a few points.
I'm no TeX/LaTeX expert, so maybe this is some TeX/LaTeX thing that I'm
not familiar with.
