! Dimension too large (multicol)

Post by gtilma »

I'm working with a document using multicol so I can insert column breaks at certain points and have run into the following problem: the document compiles the first 3 pages just fine, then if I insert another \columnbreak, which would place the column on page 4, I get this error:

Code: Select all

! Dimension too large.
\iterate ...nt@ \vsplit \mult@grightbox to\dimen@ 
                                                  \ifnum \c@tracingmulticols...
Any ideas? At present, I'm stuck creating a new tex file for the text beginning on page 4.

The error message alone is quite useless. It requires a self-contained and minimal example to get a clue.
