Thanks for the fix.

No, the recovery is fine.  For some reason (just my own thoughts, not in any
documentation) I expected that it would set up as many pages as possible
with a system count of 8, and then the left over page would have as many
lines as needed.  I expected to see one page of 8 and one page of 5.

Once I realized my mistake in expectations, I found that it worked exactly
as expected, so I retract my bug report.

However, I think it would be useful to have max-system-count which would
operate as I thought system-count did; it would format each page to have a
maximum number of systems, but either due to spacing issues or running out
of systems to put on a page, it would allow fewer systems on a page.  So can
I change bug report to a feature request?

Thanks,

Carl
