OK, I think I understand now.

I'm not sure what this means. I guess it will prevent the error message
from occurring.
Is it something I would get from a nightly development snapshot?
If so, where do I find it?

But it also sounds like there's no point in our having a setting of 60
lines when there are only 42 lines in our layout (that's the number
above which this error occurs). So I need to either tweak our layout, or
reduce the number of lines I'm asking for in a columnset.

Thanks,
Lars
