mom 2.5_c gives completely different results. The output now looks much more like what I was aiming for. No spurious empty paragraphs before the tables (S.E.P.B.T.). No extra blank page. No vertical space above "Second heading". And no warnings. It looks like whatever caused S.E.P.B.T. was fixed between 2.1_c and 2.5_c. Have the other problems been corrected as well or merely disturbed out of existence when the tables got shifted upwards ? Not sure, but they haven't resurfaced on the longer document I'm working on here so, for now, I suppose we can assume the former. Sorry if I made you chase dead bugs. :-/
