Dear Heiko, > * dvitype is ok, it reports > | there are really 70000 pages, not 4464!
In this case total_pages may be written in the dvi as 4464. I find in tex.web: @ At the end of the program, we must finish things off by writing the post\-amble. If |total_pages=0|, the \.{DVI} file was never opened. If |total_pages>=65536|, the \.{DVI} file will lie. And if |max_push>=65536|, the user deserves whatever chaos might ensue.
