The page spacing algorithms are being changed in 2.13 and so it won't always 
be guaranteed that you'll get exactly what you want in this development 
version.  I believe that the overflow information is likely to be debugging 
info to help the coders.

If you think it's a clear bug, please could you post a tiny example to help 
debugging.
