Without having looked at the problem for a while, the code that directs that
areas should be split should recognise that it has previously tried to split
at the same height and failed in trying.  It should just put the unsplittable
areas on the page and move on to the next page.

That would require keeping track of the last attempted height (and possibly
the last FoArea that needed splitting) so it knows that it's a repeat.

Another problem that's been known to cause it, I think, is page-height="auto"
(or no page-height specified).
