Folks,
The old "TeX capacity exceeded" error has come up again, and I'm damned
if I can fix it.
This particular error message is
TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [number of strings=51918].
while processing a large .tex file with pdftex. The command line is
pdftex "&pdfjadetex" book.tex-pdf
I've tweaked values in texmf.cnf till I'm blue in the face. I know that
the tweaks are having an effect, because if I adjust values *down* then
the error message occurs earlier. But no matter how high I adjust the
values it always bombs out at 51918 strings.
The file in question can be grabbed from
http://people.freebsd.org/~nik/book.tex-pdf.gz
(850K or so) should any of you wish to experiment.
