[texhax] How to insert table note in longtable?

[Uwe Lück]

In my previous posting I had forgotten that you have given
an example, sorry. Now I have tried it -- the footnote appears
on the first page! Do you have a recent version of longtable?
If you do, you might try another system. Perhaps you
haven't told the whole story. E.g., a footnote can go to
the next page if you precede \footnote with \pagebreak
in the same line, even \nopagebreak[3] can have the same
effect -- cf. TeXbook Exercise 15.13. Or \marginpar can
drag footnotes to later pages, due to a bug in LaTeX's output
routine.
