I'm sharing format, pool and base files between a sparc64 (32-bit userspace) box and an i386 box --- or I was; but between 20021225 and -rc1, the byte-order independence of these files has broken, even without NO_DUMP_SHARE; all .base, .fmt. .efmt and .mem files differ between those platforms

Hi, I have a metapost file that begins with %latex. I could process this file until teTeX-beta-20021013 (web2c-7.3.8). Now I have to use the commandline option --tex=latex. %latex is ignored and plain TeX is used. Is this desired? I know that sth. like %latex has been problematic in the past,
