The example that was attached by Frank (or Stijn?) does just fine.
As I suspected, the problem is a macro error, not an actual
limit.
Ah, thank you. I didn't investigate this, since I assumed that the
PostgreSQL documentation must have been built successfully on some other
system.

With \tracingall, the run ends with the output below.
We cannot fix this: the enlarging limits will just result in a
"capacity exceeded" message with a higher counter.
Hm, can you give me a short hint 

- what tells you that it's a macro error, and

- where the error probably is?

I can't quickly interpret the \tracingall output, (probably also because
I usually just use single \tracingfoo commands). I guess I could figure
out with some effort, but since you seem to have seen it already,
please?

TIA, Frank
