I am processing text with troff with the ms macros.  By the end of my
paper, I happen to have a few floating keeps stored up.  I end up with
all of the floating keeps plastered on top of each other on the last
page, instead of correctly spread out over a few pages.  I don't
understand how it works, but it seems that the .EM macro (which the ms
package sets to the end macro (.em)) can handle at most one stored-up
keep.  How can I get the stored-up keeps to come out correctly?

Thanks.
