Thanks for this. In fact I can reproduce this with any empty line
formatted as a header. I'll investigate this.

That is a nasty one and I'll fix it as a priority.
Thanks for your time in looking into these problems - it's very much
appreciated. There is a bug tracking facility at
http://www.innovateer.com/support/tracking which can be used if anyone
wants automatic notifications of when reported problems are fixed but
I'm happy to have people report problems here, especially if they
think other users ought to be aware of them. I've entered these bugs
as numbers 0000025 and 00000256.
