Varying -crgh (specifically, making it larger) doesn't help in this case, but it should. I would call this a bug, actually. I'll look into it. For now, if you use -m 0.5 to chop off the page numbers, the columns are correctly separated all the way down.

The green lines mark blank areas that are large enough that they are considered to separate contiguous regions. k2pdfopt will not try to wrap text across green lines, for example.

Thanks for the kind words. I had not heard of flattr.com--interesting concept. If people ask how to give me money I usually just tell them to give it to their favorite charity or some other open software project that needs it.
