We seem to have a problem here with two-column output.
The situation is the following:

1. there is a page with a figure* at the top. The remaining column
can not accomodate an integer number of lines, i.e. the remaining
height is not an integer number of the normalsize baselineskip.

2. the righthand column contains only text and can not be flushed
at the bottom (is that the correct expression?)

3. the lefthand column contains a sectional unit heading and is
flushbottom; the beforeskip has >0 stretch.

The result is unequal columns, which doesn't look good in a
two-column journal.

If both columns contain only lines of text, i.e. no glue,
the problem doesn't seem  -- mind you: SEEM -- to appear.

Suggestions anyone?
