MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ How to keep the group heading in glossaries with the first entry in the group?

[eezacque]

In a document with glossaries set in multicols, it often happens that the heading of a group, say 'A', ends up on the bottom of a column, while the first member of the group, say 'Albert', sits at the top of the next column. Is there any remedy?
