TeX capcity excedeed with metafun

[andrea valle <valle@di.unito.it>]

Hi to all,

I'm plotting 10,000 little squares thus exceeding TeX capacity. I was 
going to modify context.cnf (everything works with 5,000 squares).


In particular, I'm  on macosx 10.3 with Gerben's distro. I am editing 
this file:
  /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/context.cnf

1. is it correct?
2. Above all, I'am obtaining:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=8000000].

Here's the log:

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.


Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
  1108 strings out of 60272
  18484 string characters out of 602115
  8000001 words of memory out of 8000000
  38234 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000
  75018 words of font info for 37 fonts, out of 2000000 for 2000
  192 hyphenation exceptions out of 5000
  36i,2n,31p,223b,477s stack positions out of 
5000i,500n,6000p,200000b,40000s
PDF statistics:
  0 PDF objects out of 300000
  0 named destinations out of 131072
  1 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 10000
No pages of output.



But in context.cnf I have:
main_memory.context      = 2000000
main_memory.mpost        = 3000000
main_memory.metafun      = 3000000

Now, I added one 0 to all these params, thus decuplicating the values, 
but nothing changes.

?

Many thanks as usual for any hints

Best
