None of the settings help. I have tried all the 3 algorithms, different 
settings for flexibility and reductions. Nothing helps. :(

The book style achieves what I want somehow for chapters (i.e., chapters 
start 
at new page). At least I have not noticed any problems with paging when using 
the book style. I tried to quickly look at the style file but I didn't found 
what I was looking for, yet. I wonder what the book style does differently? 
Is it something builtin for chapter tags?

I attached an example file which demonstrates this problem. There is a single 
page-break at the end of page 3. The problem, however, can be seen on page 1. 
Half of the page is empty although there is nothing but text and paging 
should be seemingly easy. The problem does not appear if one removes the page 
break from page 3.

I'd really appreciate if this could be solved quickly as this is a problem 
that currently makes page-break and new-page tags unusable. Worse yet, my 
thesis should be in print in few weeks. Should I post this in dev mailinglist 
as a bug? 

Thanks in advance!
