Do I really need to change this (how?) or is it probably something else that has gone wrong? That 'runaway text?' looks suggestive.
This means that you have 1 MB of data in one scrap -- each scrap is processed separetely by pdftex. New sections should not influence it. (It might be possible that ancient pdftex version (1.21a) you are using does not flush the data to the pdf file after the scrap is processed and keeps all the data in the memory. Try to find whether the file th_formdef.tex reaches 1 MB on the problematic line 47627.
line 47627 is 0x17A850 or 1550416 bytes i.e. ~1.5Mb. Updating the pdftex version is a bit tricky. I ought to try texlive though, which I think is supposed to be more modern.
If this is the case try to update pdftex.)
You may also increase the memory pdftex is using in the file texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf by redefining the variable main_memory.
OK. I tried this but I still get the same error: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=1000000]. even though /etcx/texmf/texmf.cnf now has: main_memory = 2000000 % words of inimemory available; also applies to inimf&mp Why is it ignoring me - there is some other setting (there are lots in there like: main_memory.context = 1500000 main_memory.mpost = 1500000 but no others are 1000000 Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://wookware.org/
