Sorry; I was on 0.88.1

I can't find this at the location given
(ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/testing/dia-0.89-test.tar.gz)
anymore. I've tried to use the CVS version but autoconf fails on loads
of things.

Is .89 available still, or should I try fix the autoconf stuff
(probably missing things)?

I don't think this is the bug though. Dia has *always* given massive
exports as long as I can remember. I've been waiting for the day a
"Scale" comes along, but as it hasn't yet and I'm starting to get
bitten by the sizes I thought I'd ask if I'm just missing it.
