[Therion] th_formdef.tex runaway text error

[bruce at tomo.co.nz]

Hello

I've just created an error, due I believe to particular layout changes I've
made to a couple of exported elevations, but I'm yet to isolate which
changes are the culprits.

(It's not related to recent posts I've made on therion/therion: therion
<https://github.com/therion/therion> - cave surveying software, and it is
consistent across all recent Therion versions)

 

Perhaps someone may know if I can use the therion log information to track
down the cause?

Using the below information I checked in file thTMPDIR /th_formdef.tex

.and found the string \PL{9178.94 283.21 m}% on line 165540.

There are 220130 lines overall, and the file seems to end without obvious
truncation.

 

That in itself does not help much.

I'm sure I'll be able to isolate the cause by other means, but I'm just
wondering if anyone knows if I could use this information to locate a cause?

 

Bruce

If you really absolutely need more capacity,

you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

 

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
