We recently hit the limit when building the German handbook. Did you generate the index? Building the (German) handbook without the index "make FORMATS=pdf" works fine but building the handbook with "make GEN_INDEX=true FORMATS=pdf" dies. I posted the error message on the German translators list: http://www.de.freebsd.org/de/archive/de-bsd-translators.200211/0173.html I doubled "max_strings" in texmf.cnf but this didn't fix the problem. -- Marxpitn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
