I found out what the problem is. Let me first explain what the report in
question looks like.

The report runs by each person in the database and, using a subreport, prints
out a list of things which that person possesses. One of the first things in
the primary report body, is a conditional page eject, which is the cause of
the problem. For one person, the list of possessions is too large to fit on
one page, and I guess the conditional page eject borks out in that case.

This seems to be a bug in DP. Can I report it somewhere?
