ok, i'll have a look

btw, next time, just send me the changed files, which i will then compare in a visual diff ; i never managed to get patch working under windows

Hi Hans, Sorry you're stuck in Windows. Updated core-reg.tex attached.

is there also a tex test file?

Short answer: No. Long answer: A substantial test file is needed to demonstrate all the page collapsing problems. I do not have time to produce a public domain test. I have tested it on a 35-page document which is not releasable. On that document it fixes the all of the known bugs and does not break register placement when compress is off. Here is a part of a register placement from the 35-page document. The item names have been changed.
