John, please.  You asked for a new feature that already exists, and
when corrected immediately reported that it doesn't work and isn't
used, despite the fact that it does and is.  You even hid behind (no
joke) a grammar excuse (as if "colspan" and "rowspan" are so different
that one couldn't possibly be an example of the other, or that you
couldn't think to grep for just "span").  When told that the core of
the "columns too small" problem was your use of an explicit width and
height, you bizarrely claimed that it wasn't, in clear contradiction
to reality.

At any of those steps, an appropriate response might have plausibly
included the phrase "thank you", or at least "OK, but...".  Instead,
it's been one one redirection after another.  I tell you one thing
(*correct* advice, it should be noted) and am immediately hit back
with a counterclaim.  Basically, you've been a jerk from the beginning
to end of this process and frankly I don't really want to work with
you.  Your contributions aren't valuable enough to be worth the
emotional effort.  Some jerks can prosper in collaborative projects
because of the utility of their work (c.f. Melchior, Mathias, maybe me
if I still count as a core developer).  You aren't in that league,
honestly, and you might find that a little humility would produce
better service.

But, all that being said: yes, you found a bug.  The
spans-are-too-wide problem* is caused by a sign bug when calculating
the "extra" amount to distribute between spanned cells.  Fixed in CVS.

Andy

* As distinct from the layout-is-too-narrow problem you reported
  earlier, or the "there are no spans" non-problem you originally
  reported.
