This looks like a faq but I can't find it in the official list of such.

In my latex document, article style, I have some text, followed by a 
\vspace{0.1in}, followed by a big vbox.  By the time latex gets to the big 
vbox, it is 3/4 of the way down the page, so it has to do a premature 
pagebreak.  Curiously though, it breaks the page in such a way that ONE LINE OF
TEXT goes on the next page, followed by the vspace and the vbox.  Why doesn't 
it put ALL THE TEXT on the first page?

I would prefer a generic fix (i.e. a few lines I can add at the beginning of
every document), rather than instructions for how to fix this particular case.
I've looked in the latex manual, but I haven't found the solution.
