I've noticed a similar problem. For me this happened in plain TeX only, 
and with pdfTeX; it was connected with having had successive 
installations (and customizations) of teTeX, which ended up with 
conflicting versions of pdftex.cfg located in various subfolders of the 
texmf, texmf.local and texmf.macosx directories.

Try putting something like (if you're using a4paper) in your input file:

\pdfpagewidth=210truemm
\pdfpageheight=297truemm
\pdfhorigin=1truein
\pdfvorigin=1truein

If that cures your problem, then you've got wrong versions of 
pdftex.cfg somwhere in your system; the correct version should contain:

page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
horigin 1 true in
vorigin 1 true in

Try locating the wrong versions and suppressing them.
