Narrative:

On taxi-out instructions were given to hold short of taxiway right (on way to runway 1L). Instructions were changed to turn onto taxiway right and hold short of runway 25L. After turning corner and stopping we were slightly over hold short line, but clear of runway 25L. We advised ground of this situation. An aircraft on approach was apparently sent around and we were given instructions to continue taxi to runway 1L. Ground control said that the aircraft was sent around to be on the safe side after we told them that we might be over the hold short line slightly.
