Wrapping around footnotes

["William D. Neumann" <wneumann@cs.unm.edu>]

I'm preparing a paper in two column format, and I'm having issues with
footnotes in one column affecting the text in the other column because the
text in the other column stops at the same spot as the text in the column
with the footnote rather than typsetting down to the bottom of the page.

For example, I am currently getting:

blah, blah, blah1    yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
------
1 footnote text
here. footnote
text here.
footnote text here.

Instead of this (which I want)

blah, blah, blah1    yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah     yammer, yammer, yammer
------               yammer, yammer, yammer
1 footnote text      yammer, yammer, yammer
here. footnote       yammer, yammer, yammer
text here.           yammer, yammer, yammer
footnote text here.  yammer, yammer, yammer

How can this be done?  I've tried playing with the various setup commands
for columns and footnotes, but nothing seems to work.  Any help is
appreciated.
