tex capacity exceeded

[Sebastian Rahtz <sebastian.rahtz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It may be helpful if I post, as a baseline, the relevants parts of the
the texmf.cnf file on my system. These are what control the capacity
of pdftex, tex etc, if you are using a web2c-based setup like teTeX.

You must rebuild the format files if you change these, to be
safe. Most are read at runtime, but some are built into the format
file.

With these settings, I can process almost any of the test files I have
been sent, including a 750+ page monster from cogent.

When I say "almost", pdfjadetex _can_ go over a string limit in TeX
which *isn't* changeable in texmf.cnf. The workaround is to write a
file called jadetex.cfg, containing just the line

\LabelElementsfalse

and see if that helps. it stops jadetex from using up a string for
every element. If that leaves unsatisfied cross-references, try
"jadetex" instead of "pdfjadetex", and create your PDF in another via
(ie via Distiller).

Hope this helps a few people.
