Hmm.  If I set teTeX's max_strings below 70000, I get the error
sooner.  If I set max_string *above* there, though, I get the same
numbers.  I'm digging into teTeX, but I can't find a limit that's
producing this.  I'll dig some more, but I'm still hoping a TeX expert
(I've been using it for 15 years, but I don't know much about
configuring it) will say something more useful.

Be well.
