Subject: [NTG-Context] MetaPost capacity exceeded.
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:27:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121115122708.26e6fa60@sole> (raw)


! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [expansion depth=10000].

I have come across this error previously
with run-away \dorecurse loops

I now have this message with a document that makes VERY heavy
use of MetaPost; I just have too many figures.

Is there some way to "flush" the running instance of MetaPost,
that is to force MPlib to respawn or something like that?
(Of course, I would then have to be careful not to rely on the
reuse of any previous MP instances...)
