BTW, I did a search on

thin kerf saw and riving knife problem
and got 17,000+ results.

So, Steve's problem isn't unique at all.
The usual solution offered online (in the half-dozen discussions I read) was to modify the riving knife to make it thinner, or fabricate a new riving knife. It's easy to do if you have a metal shop, I suppose.
And it seems that most riving knives don't have the 'anti-kickback' toothed swing arms that my BusyBee (Chinese) saw came with, so I guess that's not an issue.

IMO, riving knives are a 'solution' to the problems that arise when ripping with a full-length fence, especially with wood that's hiding some compression/tension problems.

Seeing table saws with no outfeed tables just scares me.
