Subject: FYI

As he who aimed me at the "mitthesis" document type on
Athena's Scribe, I thought I'd point out to you that there appears
to be an "undocumented restriction" (aka "BUG") in the handling
of the Abstract, in that if it runs over one page it fouls up badly
(headings and footings but no text on abstract page, and some fraction
of the text on a generic text page immediately following).
Hours of fun trying to figure out what was wrong!
