** In this case, the errors are cropping up because of the <cmd>title</cmd> (which is a bad idea in this example anyway, because it will confuse LaTeX users who expect it to produce a <i>document</i> title), probably because it wants to create a new page, leaving the <code>\hbox{}\vfilll</code> to create a blank page.  If I replace that with an ordinary block of text formatted <cmd>bfc</cmd> (and incidentally use the <code>\strut\vfill</code> construction from [[Footnotes]]), it works fine.  Except that the footnote in the title shows up too small, which I'll report as a bug.  --[[User:Brooks|Brooks]] 06:54, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
