it's always a problem to determine what's left on a page

\def\blah{The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy stupid dog.}
\dorecurse{62}{\blah} \synchronizeoutput

this will force the otr but is not always fails safe (i.e. vertical 
spacing may be messed)

... one of the reasons why we work on luatex -)
