I want to produce a table with the tabular environment which
includs footnotes and I want to put the whole thing in a table
environment, so I tried the following (before putting it in
a table environment):


\begin{minipage}{3in}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
one   & two \\
three & four\footnotemark[1]\footnotetext[1]{Footnote.} \\
five  & six
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}


And the result is that in the table produced by the tabular
environment a numerical footnote mark appears (1) whereas
at the bottom of the minipage environment you get an
alphabetical footnote mark (a).  Is this a bug/feature of
LaTeX or am I doing something wrong?
