Re: [docbook-apps] force pagebreaks in a glossary

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

It is very difficult to diagnose from such little information in the error
message.  In such cases, I have resorted to commenting out large sections of
a document until it doesn't break, then trying to narrow it down to the
content that is triggering the error.  Maybe someone else has a more
efficient method.
