it seems that FOP is breaking a line in a rather unusual place.  i'm 
using docbook, and i have a <variablelist>, where a single entry has
two "terms": /bin and /usr/bin

  normally, these would be displayed as you see at the bottom of 

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/variablelist.html

  as in:

     /bin, /usr/bin    (where you see "PFA, PFB" on that weg page)

OTOH, if there isn't enough space for the terms to be displayed on the
same line, it's expected that they'll be displayed like:

     /bin,
     /usr/bin

however, my final PDF coming out of FOP produces

     /bin, /
     usr/bin

this is a *very* unusual way to break that line.  the critical
part of the .fo file is

<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()" 
text-align="start"><fo:block><fo:inline><fo:inline font-family="Times Roman" 
font-style="italic" font-weight="normal">/bin</fo:inline>, 
</fo:inline><fo:inline><fo:inline font-family="Times Roman" font-style="italic" 
font-weight="normal">/usr/bin</fo:inline></fo:inline></fo:block></fo:list-item-label>

where you can see the "/bin", the ", " and the "/usr/bin" in there.
and it's not clear, given that, why i should get the output i described.
just for fun, i attached the short PDF file.

  am i doing something wrong?  it's hard to see why FOP is making the 
line break decision that it is.
