Yes, a test case would be great.
BTW I still have to include the stuff that you, Klaus and Dmitri sent to me.
I also made some modifications and fixes and I hope to be able to find some
time to work on this. Right now I have to correct a problem in tables when
the content of a cell is huge. The table line is rejected to the next page
but as the header line is there, there is no "too big to fit" error and it
generates a few millions pages like that before dying.... :(
