Most likely some limit in web2c is reached...
This is confusing: It works on SUSE 10.1, OpenBSD 4.1, Debian 3.1 & 4.0, but fails on SUSE 10.2 and 10.3... %-(
It works also on Windows. Best regards, Akira

Thanks. It also works on Ubuntu 6.06 but fails on 7.10 The culprits are not flex or bison (tested), so this leaves gcc, gblic and the kernel. :-{ Best Martin

It's the kernel or glibc exposing the error. A working binary from Ubuntu 6.06 works also on 10.3. %-( It's also the change to tex.ch and pdftex.ch in r329 that exposes this error. Best Martin

Fixed: increasing max_strings in web2c/main.c helps. Turns out we now have 1757 symbols and 19929 strings, which must be exactly one too much, as increasing max_strings from 20000 to 20001 is enough... Karl: I strongly suggest adding some bounds checking to add_to_table. :-( Best Martin
