input stack size limit?

[Matthew Baker <mbaker@mmkmail.gmd.de>]

Hi,

This is probably more a TeX question than a Context question but the
problem is coming up in Context, so....

I have been running Context under Linux without any problems for a while.
I've just tried getting it going on an SGI (IRIX 6.5).  It is having
problems.  Specifically, I get a

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500].

so I edit the texmf.cnf and change stack_size to something big.  The
problem is, regardless of what I change this to (5000, 10000), I get

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=3000].

Is there an upper limit of 3000 or something?  Should Context be needing
more than that?  I don't *think* there's anything screwy with my doc.  It
compiles and displays fine under Linux.

Oh, I should add that I'm running it with pdftex (which I also use to
build the fmt file).
