The convention that I have seen is to put the footnotes on the following page. That's the best you can do when you have that catch-22-style conflict.
Well, Plain TeX tries very hard not to let this happen. Same thing for LaTeX which would have take the whole line on the next page. I saw, in French at least, very few books with references on one page and footnotes on next page.
Okay. It would not surprise me if I've developed a high tolerance for poorly typeset English texts. I'm afraid I can't help further here.
(What is `catch-22'?)
Désolé. I wasn't sure how commonly known that idiom was. It's a title of a book by Joseph Heller, and it refers to a situation where progress depends on a circular dependency. That is, In order to go from A to B, I need C first, which depends on already having B. Adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
