Re: new sections at bottom of page not being pushed to next page

I think I've found what the problem is..I get this everytime I end up with an ending picins paragraph, ie a paragraph that has a figure wrapped around it..

…
\begin{document}

\input{section1}
\input{section2}
....

\include{chapter2}
