By configuring texmf.cnf (find it with the command, "kpsewhich
texmf.cnf") as explained in the pdftex user guide.  You can find the
guide at the URL below, but don't try the letter-sized version, since
it's PDF is still broken.  I don't know why no one fixes it -- maybe
they think that letter size is bad, since the metric sizes make so
much more sense?  ;)

Hans -- I've had to tweak the poolsize in texmf.cnf for the last few
        times I've installed context.  Perhaps poolsize deserves
        mentioning in the context installation document (URL below)?
