No ta, I built lots of them myself last night :-)
Looks like we've reached a pdftex limit that can't be worked around.
Two choices (I think).
1. Use something like ps2pdf to convert the Handbook to PDF.
Nice, simple, and means that we lose all the hyperlinks in the PDF
file, which I'd rather avoid if possible.
2. Split the Handbook up.
I've been wanting to do this for a while anyway. The easiest way
to do this would probably be to turn each <part> in to a book in
its own right. The more complicated way would be to hive out
certain chapters, "The FreeBSD Printing Book", "The FreeBSD
Security Book", and so on.
Thoughts, everyone?
