Table-float footnote and float placement

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. I have a footnote within a table in a float. I used the method 
specified on Herbert's tips page to include the footnote within the 
table. I have the placement of the table float set to default 
placement. However, with this setting, the footnote appears on the 
page that preceeds the table (and the table appears at the top of 
the page that follows the footnote)... the problem goes away if I 
change the float's placement to "here definitely".. is this a LaTeX 
shortcoming or is there some way to get the default placement 
setting to work with the footnote showing up on the correct page?

Thanks,
nirmal
