	A local user has run into a small problem with the -me macro
package.  It will sometimes fail to generate the footer at the bottom
of a page(he has defined the footer to be the page number).  This
seems to happen in fill mode when it reaches the end of a page with
text left on the input line.  The remaining input text is correctly
placed on the next page, but the footer between is missing. Anyone
else ever have this problem? What causes it? What can be done about
it? Is it really a bug in the macro package like it seems?
