In our XML->ConTeXt->PDF workflow, we've encountered a few intermittent 
problems when using split natural tables.  I'm not able to post the original 
documents in which the problems are manifesting, but below is a document that 
reproduces one of the problems.  The first page of the document is full of 
text, pushing a split natural table with five rows and a header to the top of 
the second page.  However, only the first row appears on the second page, and 
the rest of the table is continued on the third page. 

I'm using a stock ConTeXt 9/28 distribution, but this problem can also be 
reproduced on live.contextgarden.net.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or help me debug this problem?  
These natural table bugs are the only thing stopping us from deploying our 
ConTeXt workflow.

Cheers,
Mike Santy
