   I tried that, it doesn't work on my Mac. The circles are still invisible,
the message "Non-PDF special ignored" still appears, and the console's output
starts with "This is pdfeTeX(...)"

   By the way, how could a commented line change the output ? LaTeX won't
read it.

                                                                        Ewan
