I have to begin by thanking willus for this amazing piece of software. Have you considered adding a flattr.com button to the project website?

While converting papers to read on my Kindle, I ran across an odd case in which k2pdfopt recognizes a third region in a regular 2 col layout. This third region spans across the entire width along the bottom of the page.
The document I tried to convert is located here: www.cs.ucf.edu/~jjl/pubs/ICSE0289.pdf, page 8 is a good example.

I've played around a little with some of the options, am I right in assuming that -crgh is a key factor in this?
I am wondering, what to the green markers in between paragraphs in the -sm output mean exacly?
Can you give some pointers on what to tweak to achive a better result with the mentioned document?

Kind regards
Philipp
