extra nattab split in columns

extra nattab split in columns

[Vit Zyka]

Hi,

there occurs extra page break when natural tables is in the columns:
------------------------------------
\showframe

\starttext

\startcolumns
   Text.
   \bTABLE[split=yes]
     \dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD line\eTD\eTR}
   \eTABLE
\stopcolumns

\stoptext
------------------------------------

I do not know why there is extra \page
      \bgroup\page\egroup
inside of \splittblboxa (core-ntb). Box breaking should be implicit here 
(we are not inside a float here since \splittblbox forks this), should not?

Commenting mentioned line(s) solves this special problem.
Not understanding all background I do not know if it causes some 
unwanted side-effect.

Vit

some rounding problem (it's rather hard in tex to determine some 
conditions)

for the moment, add a strut to the par:

test \strut

you can file a bug in the collector (tricky to fix without breaking 
existing docs)
