Lacking detection of endless loops





------- Additional Comments From raultman@fcci-group.com  2002-09-03 15:30 -------
This bug has some relationships to bug #8778 which I've offered some commentary 
on.  The same problem may be occurring in each case- a FO document is being 
generated such that some single element is spilling over the pagebreak, causing 
FOP to put it on a new page, where it then spills over the pagebreak...ad 
nauseum.  The comments in bug #8778 were for FOP 0.20.3, but the bug hasn't 
been assigned or resolved, so it's probably valid in FOP 0.20.4.  Any attempt 
at addressing this issue of the infinite looping should address both the cases 
mentioned here and in bug #8778 as well.

Possibly a simple solution is to track whether or not FOP tries to position the 
same object on a new page more than twice?  The moment an object is placed on a 
fresh, new page and cannot fit, there is no need to continue- no future pages 
are going to fit it, either.
