But the real question remains: does the topic starter really produce a file 
with 65000 pages? Or is there some other error at play? The topic starter never 
mentioned how large his "large" tex file is....

See TeX error #913:
* 28 December 1990
R913. Avoid range check when there are 65536 or more pages (Eberhard Mattes).

pdfTeX and luaTeX shouldn't have any problems up to some millions of
pages; PDF is limited to <8m pages (number of indirect objects) with
32 bit readers.
