i found another bug in the footmisc i installed yesterday (it was
actually corrected in the version that had previously been on ctan; the
version i installed yesterday had the same version number as the one
already there...)
the new version is v5.3c, and it even works in the part of my test suite
that doesn't live in the same subtree, and therefore got forgotten
yesterday...
any unfortunate who updated their copy of footmisc yesterday should
update again -- sorry.
files updated are macros/latex/contrib/footmisc.dtx and footmisc.pdf
