Reported by Doug McIlroy, some time ago
(http://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-groff/2009-11/msg00000.html).  There was no
followup on the email list, and groff 1.23 exhibits the same behavior.
----
A trouble with footnotes in text processed with groff -ms -e.

The footnote in the attached document is inappropriately continued to the next
page, where an apparently bare footnote separator appears.

Tests done with groff 1.20.1.

[I suppose the continuation was caused by white space generated by
.EN--apparently a pernicious analog of the relatively harmless ancient troff
bug of sometimes emitting a blank page after the end of a document.]
