some time ago i ran into toks problems like that, and after some heavy
debugging with taco, we found out that there was an etex bug; this is
fixed now (registers > 255 were not properly allocated by etex)
you run into that problem because the 'updated protruding/hz support'
allocates registers and due to the amount of toks used these end up in
the >255 range; here i ran into some problems with a new par attachment
mechanism
a temp solution is to make the following number in syst-etc smaller (say
24)
\chardef\@@insallocation=32
after that you need to recompile the format
