While taking pretty short of forever, postgres-US.pdf seems to build on my debian unstable as of 8d7396e509 + some additional docs. Is this dependant of what version of text you're using (plain tex, pdftex, xetex, whatnot)? postgres-US.log contains: 360764 strings out of 481710 2617927 string characters out of 6028023 857532 words of memory out of 5085000 252961 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+600000 101035 words of font info for 156 fonts, out of 8000000 for 9000 36 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 So at least debian's version of tex seems to have to worked around the limit somehow. I found only one interesting looking setting in the relevant config files: %% %% jacking up TeX settings for the unique uses of jadetex %% extra_mem_bot.jadetex = 85000 extra_mem_bot.pdfjadetex = 85000 Andres -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
