Hi all,

concerning TeX/eTeX of teTeX 0.9-981012 Olaf Weber
<olaf@infovore.xs4all.nl> found the reason for this.

In texmf.cnf, there is:
  max_strings.context = 55000
  max_strings = 15000             % max number of strings

using 'tex --ini --fmt=context cont-de' the first line is read, but when
calling
tex \& context  the second line is read, and since cont-de needs 18053
strings, it segment faults.

If context is linked to tex (ln -s tex context) and tex is called
'context' then it doesn't happen.

(Since in teTeX cont-* is soft linked to pdftex, which presently doesn't
work, I used (e)TeX and failed.)

Olaf Weber will provide three patches to solve this bug/problem. See
teTeX-pretest mailing list.

Tobias
