The PdfPTable class javadocs states "...if a row is bigger than the page it is 
dropped silently to
avoid infinite loops".
A few comments on this:

Since PdfPTable doesn't support rowspans, I am using inner tables to accomplish 
the same layout.
Some inner tables may return results larger than will fit on one page.  They 
are being dropped
silently as documented, but I'm not sure that is appropriate.  It seems more 
appropriate to throw an
exception if the contents can't be renedered.  I've been running tests on this 
application for a
while without noticing the data missing from the middle of the report.

To make my application actually work, however, I would like to be able to 
handle inner tables that
are larger than a page.  Paulo, can you comment on what infinite loop is being 
avoided by dropping
these rows?  I am willing to work on adding support for this, but would 
appreciate any pointers on
where to start or problems that you anticipate with supporting this.  This is 
one area where
PdfTable seems to actually work better than PdfPTable, but I would much rather 
help improve
PdfPTable that fix all the other bugs in PDfTable.
