+========================================================================
+*** Exercise 18:
+On page 254 of the TeXbook the following output routine is described:
+
+ \output={\unvbox255 \penalty\outputpenalty}
+
+and in the ensuing text Knuth writes "If the \vsize hasn't changed, and
+if no insertions have been held over, the same page break will be
+found." This claim is rather false. Why? How should the output routine
+be rewritten to work as intended?
+========================================================================
+
+Thanks to William Baxter (web@superscript.com) for contributing this
+question.
