Not from my point of view. The only pattern that I can see (given this
limited data set) is that in both cases where the formatting is
broken, the first line on the new page contains character formatting
that gets broken across the line (i.e. it starts on the first line and
ends on the second line). On page 3 it's the ":if-exists" which is set
in Courier and on page 5 it's the "WRITE-CHAR" which is set in
Courier-Bold. In both cases that same formatting seems to get picked
up by the beginning of the line.
