These are probably because it's one big "tabular" environment. "tabular" isn't 
very smart, and IIRC it can't handle page breaks. Try "supertabular" instead:
\usepackage{supertabular}
and then use "supertabular" instead of "tabular". It's included in Fedora's 
tetex-latex package.

You can use the \advance command to fiddle with margins, for example like this:
\advance\textheight5.5cm
\advance\topmargin-3.5cm
\advance\textwidth5cm
\advance\evensidemargin-2.5cm
\advance\oddsidemargin-2.5cm

Another issue you might encounter one day is TeX refusing to stretch the spaces 
enough to justify long lines. Instead, it will complain about "underfull 
hbox"es and wants you to change your content (for example make \tt blocks, 
which are unbreakable, shorter). Of course, I don't want to change my content 
just to please the layout engine, so I use this instead:
\global\emergencystretch = 0.9\hsize
This allows TeX to use up to 90% of the line for spacing. You can put whatever 
other value there, just \hsize will turn the limit off completely. This trick 
also works in other TeX-based formats, such as texinfo.
