Dear list,
In the MWE below, ConTeXt lmtx throws an error with the message in the title:
\starttext \startluacode
local upperlimit = 90000
context.starttabulate({ "|l|l|l|" }) for i=1,upperlimit do context.NC() context("word 1") context.NC() context("word 2") context.NC() context("word 3") context.NC() context.AR() end context.stoptabulate()
\stopluacode \stoptext
But it compiles with no problems with MKIV.

How to avoid this with lmtx? In luatex there is also a max on configured memory usage but because in luametatex we have larger nodes you hit limits earlier. Also, the memory allocation in luametatex is somewhat different (larger nodes are compensated by savings elsewhere so in the end mem usage for this run is similar).
luatex luametatex pages 2196 2196 pps/s 8 11 time 278 195 mem 1.1G 1.1G now, luametatex reports tex memory > bumping category 'node' succeeded, details: all=400500000 | ini=0 | max=50000000 | mem=44500000 | min=1000000 | ptr=-843956 | set=50000000 | stp=500000 | top=43999999 you can bump the the max in the configuration file and also the step. As you can see, luametatex runs quite a bit faster on this test but that is due to other differences between the two engines. The reason why it does run on my machine is that i have this: \enableexperiments [tabulatesparseskips] \enableexperiments [tabulateusesize] this makes tabulate a bit more efficient in terms of node usage so i stay some 20% below the configured max .. you can try to run with this option. Of course adding more text will also demand more mem but then you can always bump the max (in a configuration file in texmf-local or so; maybe some day i will add a --huge flag to the runner).
