Limit for docbook

Limit for docbook

[Peter Toft]

Hi
I am still using Red Hat 6.2 docbook 3.1 since it works
(some people say that RH7.2 also works - good news).

I have a problem with a collection of 11 books in a
set, which is kinda biiiig :)

When I do db2pdf I get

Underfull \vbox (badness 10000) detected at line 303790
[855.0.21] [856.0.21] [857.0.21] [858.0.21] [859.0.21]

[862.0.21] [863.0.21] [864.0.21] [865.0.21] [866.0.21]

\@inputcheck \ifx \inpu...
l.311823 {1}}


I understand that this is one of the TeX limits I have
to hack - but I really don't know which one, since I
can easily make a 500 page book - but not this one ...

Check my posts to this list over the last 12 months, and you will see a
detailed description of how to extend your (la)tex resources.  Beyond that,
you may have to experiment a little about which resource to increase, but
there is always the brute force method; double everything as a first
approximation. Whatever your changes to the resources, you should be able to
see the effects of the changes in the (la)tex log file which summarizes the
total resources and the actual resources used.  By correlating the log file
changes with the actual resources you specified you can quickly narrow down
which resource has to be increased.  Usually, (as appears to be your case as
well) it is one of the resources having to do with strings.
