Just a thought - have you tried giving FOP more memory to use?
If you use the batch file, you can modify the line that invokes FOP to
include the -Xmx switch, so that it looks something like this:
java -Xmx512m -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4
%5 %6 %7 %8 %9
That gives it a half gig to play with. I found that I had use the -Xmx
switch to be able to produce large documents, but now I can produce
1700-page documents (in particular, a data dictionary for a large data
warehouse).
Good luck.

Always on page 52 - > "No meaningful layout in block after many attempts.
"
Hi everyone,
I have been using FOP for about 9 months, off and on. I have never had
this
problem before. No matter what I do, FOP craps out at page 52. I can use
more white space or less white space (i.e. more/less records per a page),
doesn't matter.
There are not that many records, only about 2800. No graphics, just text.
I
have tried PDF and PS output, the same error each time. If I limit the
number of records (php script that creates xml file) so it won't make
enough
records for 52 pages, it works like a charm.
Output:

Here is the XSL. Sorry about including the entire stylesheet, but I have
been
stumped for days, and not sure what is fouling things up. Yes I have
checked
google and the archive.
