[bug #55081] [me] multi-column mode does not work with very long page lengths

[Dave]

Update of bug #55081 (project groff):

                  Status:                 Invalid => Fixed                  
         Planned Release:                    None => 1.23.0

Follow-up Comment #27:

The problem originally reported had only to do with page lengths.  Branden
broadened the scope (adjusting the Summary accordingly) in comment #8 to also
include footnotes.  The original problem was fixed in the commit of comment
#11.

I reopened the bug with comment #16, thinking that there were still problems
with the fix, but it turns out these only arise when using footnotes (or
low-level troff requests that -me disallows, as cited in comment #22). 
Branden pointed out in comment #19 that the footnote issue is more properly
under the purview of bug #58736, and reset the Summary to its original scope.

With comment #21 he closed it as Invalid "because I can't get things to break
without using footnotes."  But footnotes were already excluded from this bug's
scope at that point, and the original problem as reported was indeed fixed, so
Fixed seems a more appropriate Status.  Updating accordingly.  Branden, feel
free to overrule me if you disagree with any of this.

(Probably none of the foregoing matters, but comments elsewhere led me to
believe Branden was gathering data based on closed bugs, so this update is to
make sure this bug is properly "credited" as containing a legitimate fix that
resolved an actual bug.)
