Omitting the trailer causes GNU pr to try to print on
the very last line of the output page, which is a portability hassle:
some printers and printer emulators ignore newline before formfeed on
the last line of a page, while others don't.
Wouldn't the trailer force a move to the next page,
exactly the opposite of what we want?
submit a patch along those lines shortly, to bug-coreutils. This is
an incompatible change, since it will output 7 fewer lines per page
when you specify -F;
Don't you mean 7 more lines? I don't follow.
Anyway, if this change means less output per page, why do it?
I'd rather change just enough to fix the problem.
