yes, slow but persistent (hopefully not annoying...)

Huraaaaa!!! Great. It works! It works! It works! It works at least for:

- full page float: [page|here](\textheight,\makeupwidth) in simple example

- full column float: [here](\textheight,\OneColWidth) in simple example

- does not change page break and/or float positions in 160 pages 2 or 3 
columnsets document with about 330 floats!

- and more over: preserves any text in this doc!

It does not work for \startcolumns (not columnsets) but
- seems to me it is another problem (break one more line in each column 
that is appropriate to \textheight)
- the behaviour is exactly the same with or without the new patch

Thank you, Hans, very much! I do not know how to reciprocate with... 
(you sometimes suggest to buy a beer but I am afraid of your being 
drunken if everybody who is helped by you buys to you a beer :)
