Summary: spurious blank page in dist.pdf

Initial Comment:
In the US Letter sized version of dist.pdf in the
current download zip (Python 2.4.1), the third page of
the file (the one immediately preceding the table of
contents, which starts with roman numeral "i") is
blank.  That means that page "i" of the table of
contents, and page "1" of the actual document, begin on
even-numbered pages in the file.  This is bad because
if you print on a duplex printer, page 1 comes out on
the back of page ii, page 3 comes out on the back of
page 2, etc.  You want odd numbered pages to be on the
front and even numbered pages to be on the back, so
page 2 should be on the back of page 1, etc.

This is probably a problem with the latex extension
that made the pdf file and so it probably affects the
other pdfs as well as dist.pdf, but that's the only one
I printed.

This indeed happens only in dist.pdf. Attaching a patch
which includes the copyright, as in all other documents, and
magically, the paging is right.
