Hi:

We've been tearing our hair out trying to find a way to keep pages
from "drifting" across the bursts of paper.  That is, the problem
occurs when we try to use -me footnotes [read: .(f \** .)f].  The
first page comes out fine but after that a slow "drifting effect"
takes place so that by the 12th page the page number 12 begins at the
bottom of the 11th page :-( .

Has anyone experienced this before and if so is there "a fix" for this
problem? 

We are using the following nroff macro files:

    @(#)tmac.e  	1.1	86/07/08
    @(#)footnote.me	1.1	86/07/08
    @(#)thesis.me	1.1	86/07/08

Thanks in advance,

Steve Azmier,
