Keywords: LaTeX footnotes tabular bug

There seems to be a bug with the way footnotes are handled inside of a
tabular environment in LaTeX. They don't work.
I noticed that a footnote inside a tabular environment  does not produce
a footnote at the bottom of the page, but produces a footnote tag.
Repeat By:
User the following file and print it out on the laser printer.

\documentstyle{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{l}
topmargin\footnote{the size of the page header({\tt$\backslash$headheight}) and the
header separation ({\tt$\backslash$headsep}) are also set to 0 to produce a top margin
that is really 1 inch }\\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

There is a superscript over the word "topmargin", but there is no corresponding
footnote at the bottom of the page. I am sure that other people have seen this
bug before. Is there a fix for this bug?. I am not very knowledgeable about
LaTeX and TeX, so I am not even sure if this is a LaTeX bug or a TeX bug.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Sundar
