RE: [NTG-context] extra_mem_bot.context

===== Original Message From "Adam Lindsay" =====

...

This is a note for aleph users. In _both_ texmf.cnf files that come with the full ConTeXt distribution, you must comment the line

%extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000 [\texmf\web2c, line 503]

%extra_mem_bot.context = 2000000 [\texmf-local\web2c, line140]

otherwise aleph will crash upon over/underfull boxes.

This has actually been noted before; I don't know/remember if a solution was ever found.

Now that's interesting.

That same bug was plaguing XeTeX versions through 0.88. Jonathan Kew tracked it down and quashed it. It's a little surprising that the same thing appeared in e-Omega, as well. Perhaps Jonathan can help you track it down. (And perhaps kill the bug at a common source?)

This is wonderful news! Although, unless someone else can dive into the aleph code we will have to wait for Giuseppe to return from the purgatory of writing his doctoral dissertation (soon I hope->)... Any ideas for a workaround in the meantime? Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
