Sounds familiar...

I think I discussed this with Martin a while ago and from memory there
is an obscure bug.
It is some while ago but I think I worked around the problem by changing
the font size to make the table a bit smaller.
An alternative I think is to force the table to split over two pages and
have the footnote ref on the second of these pages.
I guess the problem is something to do with not having enough space for
the footnote on the same page as the table and the footnate ferlowing
going wrong??
