TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000]

TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000]

[Sytse Knypstra]

Hi,

When using Hans' adaptation for typesetting bold math in a small example 
everything went fine.
But when using it in a somewhat larger text I ran into the error: ! TeX 
capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000].
I remember a discussion a few months ago about this problem in MikTeX.
Is there any solution in MikTeX available?

Thanks,

Sytse

I'm not sure how it works on MikTeX, but hash_size variable is (probably)
configurable. Why don't enlarge it? I come across simmilar problems with TeX
quite often. Enlarging variables helps (not always of course :)

As I got no solutions to this problem, my conclusion is that it is not 
possible to enlarge the hash size parameter in MikTeX.
For serious work with ConTeXt I should therefore drop MikTeX and take e.g. 
the TeXLive distribution.
Is this a valid conclusion?

No. I've successfully done this once, but then I switched over to TeXLive
for other reasons. Unfortunately I don't remember any more what I did, but
this old message by Hans might help (he's talking about miktex.ini file in
the message, that may not be clear):

Hans Hagen on April 13, 2003, that should enable you to find it in the
archives.]

I know there's more useful information on the matter in the mailing list
archives, but I cannot get any of the searches to work (neither in the
above archives or gmane.org archives). Somebody, can this be fixed at some
point???

if the hash is indeed that small tex live is indeed the way to go, fo 
rinstance, in extensive cross referenced docs one easily needs lots of 
extra hash entries
