Bug Description
psnup mis-positions pages which were created in landscape format, causing content to be truncated. The pages get put side-by-side, hanging over the right and left edges of the output sheet (so the parts outside the edge are lost) I was expecting the pages to be put one above the other (my words refer to viewing the output sheet in an upright portrait position).
The -l option has no effect at all! The output is exactly the same with or without the -l option.
Here's what the result looks like (A and B are input page data) [view this with fixed-width font!]
----------------
AA|AAAAAA BBBBBB|BB
AA|AAAAAA BBBBBB|BB
AA|AAAAAA BBBBBB|BB

Here is what I was expecting:
----------------
| AAAAAAAA |
| AAAAAAAA |
| AAAAAAAA |
| |
| BBBBBBBB |
| BBBBBBBB |
| BBBBBBBB |
----------------
I will attach test data. The landscape pages were created with libre office writer (.odt file will be included).
