MikTeX hash size limit ?

MikTeX hash size limit ?

[Sebastian Rooks]

Hello ConTeXters,
First of all I would like to thank you Hans for ConTeXt. It is a great 
pleasure to use it to write my PhD thesis.

I have just upgraded to the lastest versions of ConTeXt and MikTeX and 
my draft doesn't compile any more: pdfeTeX complains that it runs out of 
 "multiletter control sequences" (see part of the log file below). I
did not found what it is nor how to increase it. Maybe someone on this list 
can give me some advice ?
Yours,

   Seb.


This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.10b-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.2) (preloaded

To increase the hash size in MiKTeX you have to edit miktex.ini;
the key to change is hash_size_def (possibly the one in the
[ConTeXt] section)

I did not find this key in the ConTeXt section (or any other key). I 
looked in MikTeX CVS repository, and it seems to have been removed in 
revision 1.20 of the file (3 month ago).
Nevertheless I did add it (following the [Omega] section ) in my 
localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini :

;; ----------------------------------------------------------
[ConTeXt]

Input 
Dirs=.;%R\pdftex\context//;%R\pdftex\plain//;%R\pdftex\generic//;%R\pdftex//;%R\etex\context//;%R\etex\plain//;%R\etex\generic//;%R\etex//;%R\tex\context//;%R\tex\plain//;%R\tex\generic//;%R\tex//

;; maximum number of control sequences; it should be at most
;; about (mem_max-mem_min)/10.
hash_size_def=65536

;; a prime number equal to about 85% of hash_size.
hash_prime_def=55711
;; ---------------------------------------------------------

Then i rebuilt the formats, but it did not changed anything (with or 
without hash_prime_def=55711). What did i miss ?
Thanks for your help,

Uh. Does it work if you add the key in the main section?

Hello,

GH> Uh. Does it work if you add the key in the main section?

Which section is the main section ? I tried this "hash_size_def=100000" 
key in sections [ConTeXt], [MikTeX], [pdfeTeX] and [TeX] and it did not 
changed anything. It is true for both ConTeXt and LaTeX, I verified it 
with texify etc. I also checked that the file 
localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini is indeed used by changing the 
font_mem_size keyin [MikTeX] to "font_mem_size=100000" , which changed 
the following line
53886 words of font info for 146 fonts, out of 500000 for 1000
to
53886 words of font info for 146 fonts, out of 100000 for 1000

I even installed MikTeX and ConTeXt on another box (Win 2000) with the same
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000].

So it does not seem to be my setup. What can I try next ? Am I really 
the only guy with this problem ?

Drats, it looks like the hash size cannot be changed ... I'm
discussing this and similar issues with Christian, so I'll forward
the problem to him. If everything goes well it should be fixed in
the next upgrade. I'll keep you informed.

That's not for MiKTeX, Hans; this only works on web2c-based
distributions (fpTeX, teTeX)
