65.0. "TeX loops forever ..." by HAMCL1::HOFFMANN () Fri Mar 06 1987 07:34

	TeX loops forever(?), given a multipage <CODE_EXAMPLE>
	with the attribute KEEP (not MULTIPAGE). This is a
	severe bug,which we have seen mostly in the software
	doctypes (SOFTWARE.SPECIFICATION)

65.1bug being investigatedCLOSET::ANKLAMFri Mar 06 1987 12:188
    
    There was another NOTE on this problem (I forget which, but in that
    NOTE it seemed to be related to LINE_PRINTER output). I am looking
    at this; the loop seems to occur if the code example has KEEP but
    won't fit on the page.

65.2Footnote in table causes tex to loopZENSNI::AMENDTue Mar 10 1987 07:316
    I found that if you put a footnote in the wrong place in a table,
    that TEX loops until I stop it.

65.3Need sample of footnote loopCLOSET::ANKLAMTue Mar 10 1987 09:5710
    
    We are working on the loop problem with monospaced examples in figures
    (I believe it occurs *only* if the example is coded with KEEP and
    is too big for the page. Please let me know if this is not the case.)
                                    
    #2 with a loop in a table with a footnote is one I don't know about.
    Jim, can I have an example please?

65.4Doesn't look for a footnote in a tableCLOSUS::AMENDFri Mar 13 1987 17:4112
    Sorry Patti  I tried to recreate it.  We had just translated a chapter
    from .rno to .gnc.  We batched it up and it was still running in
    the morning.  I found one of the problems was the footnote above
    the <table_setup>.  I fixed that and I probably fixed something
    with the code_example also.  I have some code_examples in the chapter
    also. 
    
    Sorry about.

    See #41.1 on looping in figures w/ monospaced examples.
