Infinite Loop for block text exceeding page size

           Summary: Infinite Loop for block text exceeding page size
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.15
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other

I am encountering infinite loop in FOP and was wondering if there is any 
solution for it?
 
The "remark" value is supposed to store up to 4000 characters. And I have to 
keep them together in a page if the size can fit into the available space for 
the current page. If the block size is bigger than the available space then 
supposed to allow the whole block of text to move to the next page. However, 
what we are encountering is that the entire block size could be larger than can 
be contained in a single page and we encountered infinite loop.
 
Is there anyway to circumvent the occuring of the infinite loop and yet allow 
to keep the entire block text together when it can fit into a page size and 
allow it to overflow into subsequent pages if the block text exceeds a page 
size ?
 
Please help. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Following is a portion of the template we using
 
<xsl:template name="displayRemark">
 <fo:table-row keep-together="always">
 <fo:table-row>
 <fo:table-cell>
  <xsl:if test="string-length(remark) &gt; 0">
   <xsl:call-template name="remarkstart"/>
   <fo:table width="100%" border-width="0.1pt">
   <fo:table-column column-width="0.3cm"/>
   <fo:table-column column-width="18.6cm"/>
   <fo:table-body>
    <fo:table-row>
     <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>*</fo:block>
           </fo:table-cell>
     <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block wrap-option="wrap" white-space-treatment="preserve" white-space-
collapse="false">
                <xsl:apply-templates select="remark"/> 
               </fo:block>
           </fo:table-cell>
          </fo:table-row>
      </fo:table-body></fo:table>
     </xsl:if>
 </fo:table-cell></fo:table-row>
</xsl:template>
