When I compile my thesis I suddenly get this error:

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.



Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 4332 strings out of 10901 72220 string characters out of 72220 135340 words of memory out of 263001 7009 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+0 100895 words of font info for 123 fonts, out of 400000 for 1000 14 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000 37i,15n,33p,481b,531s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,50000b,4000s Output written on test.dvi (216 pages, 566604 bytes).


What is this "string characters" limitation that I've run into?.
The document is rather large, abt 260 pages, and is a multipart document.
If I remove the three last postscript figures, it goes through and reports this usage:


Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:

72059 string characters out of 72220
135392 words of memory out of 263001
7011 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+0
100895 words of font info for 123 fonts, out of 400000 for 1000

Do I really have to recompile latex to get a higher capacity?


Nope,

check /etc/texmf/texmf.conf. There you can set a number of options:

% Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages,
% help texts, font names, control sequences. These values apply to TeX and MP.
pool_size.context = 750000
pool_size.jadetex = 500000
pool_size = 2500000
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
string_vacancies.context = 450000
string_vacancies = 250000
% Maximum number of strings.
max_strings.context = 550000
max_strings = 300000
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free.context = 47500
pool_free = 5000


(cut from my tetex-1.07)

Increased as desired.
