you need to change this in spec-ps.tex
\def\dosomeovalbox#1#2#3#4#5#6#7%
{\bgroup
\dimen0=#4\divide\dimen0 2
\dosomeovalcalc{0pt}{+\dimen0}\xmin %%%%%%%%%%%% add pt after 0
\dosomeovalcalc{#1}{-\dimen0}\xmax
[this is due to the fact that from now on the drivers work with dimens
instead of numbers (was a left over from yandy driver support) which is
more efficient for pdftex.
BTW, there is a more advanced background mechanism, one that also obeys
indentation and floats and alike:
% output=pdftex modes=show
\definetextbackground
[whatever]
[alternative=1,
level=-1, % +1,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=green,
frame=uit,
framecolor=red,
rulethickness=1pt]
