footmisc package: bug fix

[CTAN Announcements]

a user reported on comp.text.tex that the footmisc "para" option
produced overflow errors on very wide pages (such as those used by the
a0poster class).

the new version of the footmisc package uses e-tex facilities, if
they're available, to replace the previously vulnerable code (the bug
is still there, for latex systems not built using e-tex).
