Thanks for the suggestion.

I've already tried columnsets. With or without grid=yes, with or without a
columnspan, using columnsets produces the following log even though the
table fits on one page.

pages           > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1
pages           > flushing realpage 2, userpage 2, subpage 2
pages           > flushing realpage 3, userpage 3, subpage 3
pages           > flushing realpage 4, userpage 4, subpage 4
pages           > flushing realpage 5, userpage 5, subpage 5
pages           > flushing realpage 6, userpage 6, subpage 6
pages           > flushing realpage 7, userpage 7, subpage 7
pages           > flushing realpage 8, userpage 8, subpage 8
pages           > flushing realpage 9, userpage 9, subpage 9
pages           > flushing realpage 10, userpage 10, subpage 10
pages           > flushing realpage 11, userpage 11, subpage 11
pages           > flushing realpage 12, userpage 12, subpage 12
pages           > flushing realpage 13, userpage 13, subpage 13
pages           > flushing realpage 14, userpage 14, subpage 14
pages           > flushing realpage 15, userpage 15, subpage 15
pages           > flushing realpage 16, userpage 16, subpage 16
pages           > flushing realpage 17, userpage 17, subpage 17
pages           > flushing realpage 18, userpage 18, subpage 18
pages           > flushing realpage 19, userpage 19, subpage 19
pages           > flushing realpage 20, userpage 20, subpage 20
pages           > flushing realpage 21, userpage 21, subpage 21
...

I stopped counting at 200,

Cheers,

Michael
