Dear List,

I’m running into a problem in Metapost (using Context of course!) creating (I think) too many objects; I got this error message:

variable instance identifiers exhausted

The max value for that is 2^31, or about 2 billion (and some change). Are you sure you do not have an eternal loop in your source? The number of objects I have is clearly less than 2^31, so my problem is elsewhere then. I do not think this a loop problem, because the same code runs ok for 15 000 objects, but give an error for 18 000 objects. I’m working to build a minimal example. Thanks a lot for the help ! Much appreciated. Fabrice.
