Hi everyone, I have been using FOP for about 9 months, off and on. I have never had this problem before. No matter what I do, FOP craps out at page 52. I can use more white space or less white space (i.e. more/less records per a page), doesn't matter.
There are not that many records, only about 2800. No graphics, just text. I have tried PDF and PS output, the same error each time. If I limit the number of records (php script that creates xml file) so it won't make enough records for 52 pages, it works like a charm.

Sorry about including the entire stylesheet, but I have been stumped for days, and not sure what is fouling things up. Yes I have checked google and the archive. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
