BTW, something that I thought was a bit strange with this example. On my 
machine, when built with 2.17.8 it fits on two pages. But if I comment out

  ragged-bottom = ##f
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
  ragged-last = ##f

then it needs three pages, with slightly less than half of the third 
page being filled. I would have thought that adding these settings would 
result in slightly more space being used, rather than less...
