Hi :)

I don't have an example of the image corruption on hand and as it may  
only happen when you have a document of hundreds of pages or large  
jpegs I don't really want to sit down and try and reproduce something  
by hand I can send you. However, next time we process a large  
datasource I'll do a quick run with the 'broken' xsl-fo and capture  
everything you need to reproduce it in a zip file for you :)

The column oddities are easier to demonstrate and I've attached a 1k  
zip of an xsl-fo which shows what I mean :) Unpack the zip and render  
the xsl-fo and you will (hopefully) see white space where there should  
be 'tickets'. The tickets have been bumped onto the next column or the  
next page depending on where they are. The flow order is always  
maintained. This example file is the output of an xsl template written  
to generate 8-up labels of 4 lines per label. To prove the problem is  
the blank fo:blocks, just put something (even just a '.' character) in  
the empty nodes and things will render correctly.
