It looks like the solution is to issue the following metapost command:
warningcheck := 0;

However adding it in a
code metapost
warningcheck := 0;
endcode
block seems to have no effect, mpost still fails on more then 4096 scraps.

I am getting close to the limit of 4096 scraps for Metapost which is mentioned in the Therion book and I have ran into it in some cases.  It looks like this is a setting in Metapost that must be changed and not Therion, but I was hoping maybe others had ran into this and knew what modifications are needed to Metapost to accept more scraps.

Thanks,
