What toolchain is being used for building the kernel documentation? AFAIKT the pdfdocs target uses db2pdf from docbook-utils, which in turn uses (pdf)jadetex. If this is correct, then it would be more appropriate for jadetex to sepcify a format specific increased pool size in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/96JadeTeX.cnf, ie something like pool_size.jadetex = 2500000 pool_size.pdfjadetex = 2500000 JadeTeX is known to be exceptionally resource hungry. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
