Re: Page breaks before @example

[Karl Berry]

    I would guess that bonus is there to try to get an @example not to
    span more than one page.

Right.  

On the other hand, it's true enough that the text before an example
usually leads into the example.  It seems like this is true of any
environment.  Thus perhaps the \penalty-50 should really be \penalty100
or something.  It's not a horrendous break.
