Re: [MiKTeX] hash size 35000 in miktex 2.2

Hi Frank

From my old and grey memory - such an error is usually due to the way the
document is written - perhaps somewhere a buggy "runaway" argument has
hogged all the resources of TeX. Restructuring of the document can often be
done without changing the layout and with good results (I'm not able to give
specific help here).

The way TeX works (describing pages) you might be able first to locate the
page where the bug is and then restructure that particular page to eliminate
the excessive use of TeX resources.

Best regards,
Claus
