Hi,
for my presentations, I have a graphical counter on every slide, so
metapost has to write a graphic for every slide/page that ConTeXt
produces. This works with mkii, but when I process my file in mkiv, I
get this error after page 16:
report >> error: 15 output files written: ..
Transcript written on mpout.log.
Memory size overflow!
[15.15]
report >> error: no-term
no-error
report >> error: no-term

report >> error: no-term

report >> error: no-term

no-error [17.17]
Is there any way that I can influence the memory size? 15 doesn't seem
like a whole lot...
Best
Thomas

hm, maybe something messy with the graphic ... i allocate 2MB of memory
for metafun so ...
anyhow,
\appendtoks\ctxlua{metapost.reset("metafun")}\to\everyshipout
or so, may help, although it's better to see what's the real reason
does
texexec --pdftex --automp yourfile.tex
run ok?

Yes, that runs OK. If I insert the \appendtoks... command into the
preamble, I get errors while processing, so there appears to be
something wrong with my graphic. I'll see whether I can nail it down
this afternoon.
Thanks, and best
Thomas

That error indeed comes from mplib, but from the overflow test in
realloc(), not the memory array "overflow" function. You get this
error when you attempt to allocate more than 2^31 bytes. Since that
clearly should not happen, there is a bug somewhere in MPlib. But
I'll need your source to dig it out. (likely you do something we
have never tested yet).
Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks Taco. I will try to produce a minimal example this
afternoon/evening. The problem occurs with one of my
presentation modes, but I have other documents with the
same module which don't trigger the error, so I'll have to
spend some time debugging.
Thomas

Just for the record: Taco found and squished this bug; the new luatex
trunk doesn't have it anymore. Thanks for the swift action!

the next mkiv upload will have a bit better reporter for such cases
