Thanks for you reply.  Your suggestion works to force a break.

Could you refer me to a sytle manual that forbids multi-paragraph footnotes? A quick google search turned up nothing.

I have frequently seen multi-paragraph footnotes used in published works. A quick check of three books from my shelf turned up several examples.
