- I run a job on two different systems. One one (new machine, new TeX),
- it flies. On the other (old machine, old TeX):
-
- TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=200].
-
- Going back to the new set-up, with \tracingstats=1, I managed to get:
-
- 253i,13n,10p,400b,274s stack positions out of 300i,40n,60p,3000b,4000s
-
- So it is the first one (253i) that is coming close to capacity on the
- newer system (300i), and exceeding it on the old one (200i).
-
- Now my question: what exactly is this "*i" stack parameter? How is it
- being used in the job, which would tell me how to conserve it? (Knuth
- says something about "simultaneous input sources" in the TeXbook but
- I find that less than transparent.)
-
- BTW another paper I was trying to TeX (with comparable number of pages,
- equations, as well as references), scores only 110i!
-
- Any comments and words of experience and wisdom most appreciated!
- Kindly send email, as I would be away for a few days.
-
- Thanks!
