Hi Eduardo,

I do not know, which date your MikTex configuration has. It is well known, dat the memory allocations needed have grown in the past. ....

Please look in the diectory texmf-var/web2c. There you will find a file named texmf.cnf You can edit this file with your text-editor. Memory allocations are prepared in different locations for different tex environments like pdftex, context, latex etc.

I am running texlife 7 (2002). My texmf.cnf file has the following values vor pdftex and context. Herewith it runs smoothly.

main_memory = 1500000 param_size= 1500 stack_size= 30000 hash_extra= 5000 string_vacancies= 4500 pool_free= 4750 nest_size= 500 save_size= 5000 pool_size= 5000 max_strings= 65000

main_memory.mf = 800000 main_memory.mpost = 1000000 pool_size.mpost = 500000

buf_size.context = 200000 % needed for omega bug extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000 extra_mem_top.context = 2000000 font_mem_size.context = 500000 hash_extra.context = 500000 main_memory.context = 15000000 max_strings.context = 100000 nest_size.context = 500 obj_tab_size.context = 300000 param_size.context = 5000 pool_free.context = 47500 pool_size.context = 1500000 save_size.context = 50000 stack_size.context = 1500000 string_vacancies.context = 90000

main_memory.pdfetex = 1500000 % 1000000 bot/top hash_extra.pdfetex = 50000 pool_size.pdfetex = 1000000 string_vacancies.pdfetex = 90000 max_strings.pdfetex = 100000 pool_free.pdfetex = 47500 nest_size.pdfetex = 500 param_size.pdfetex = 5000 save_size.pdfetex = 50000 stack_size.pdfetex = 500000 obj_tab_size.pdfetex = 256000

I hope this will solve your problems. Kind regards Willi Egger
