TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000] error

TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000] error

[Samuel Pelletier]

Hi,

I have a long (4333 lines) natural table document that refuse to 
compose. Initialy, I had an "TeX capacity exceeded" message for "hash 
size" but it seems that I figured how to bypass it by changing the 
texmf.cnf file.

Now I have a "! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000]." error 
and I have not figured out how to increase this parameter.

The only place with a similar name is inside the texmf.cnf file but 
changing it does not :
save_size        =              150000 % was 50000 % for saving values 
outside current group

I issue a texexec --make --all but the message is still there.

Is there any way to get rid of this one?

Hi Samuel,

It is not possible to make save_size larger than 40000
in the current executables, no matter how hard you try
(it is a compile-time limit in the web2c sources).

since this is a multiple page table, can't you split it up? what kind of 
table is it, maybe linetables are a better solution
