\usepackage{flushend} on two-column documents causes misplaced footnotes

[Jerry]

When I insert

\usepackage{flushend}

into the preamble and make the setting for two-column output, so that the columns on the last page have the same length ("flush end"), _some_ footnotes appear in embarrassingly inappropriate places, meaning, in the middle of a column, surrounded above and below by normal text.

Is this a TeX problem? Is there a known cure? Should I go to a LaTeX group and ask this?

Yes, it's presumably an issue with that package.

I have not problem with flushend and two columns.
Maybe the problem is caused elsewhere in the document or preamble.
