Hi,

what do you think about increasing pool_size in texmf.cnf
from 125000 to e.g. 250000, either as new default or at least
for pdftex ?

I'm asking because recently I help TeXing a pretty standard phd thesis 
with ~140 pages which run out of string pool when using hyperref.sty
with pdflatex.  
I'd guess that such problems might get more and more common and
we should avoid such "ask a wizard" problems for plain users if possible.


here are the memory usages for...

latex:
        Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
         4383 strings out of 10847
         57092 string characters out of 70580
         129155 words of memory out of 263001
         6944 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+0
         13901 words of font info for 49 fonts, out of 400000 for 1000
         21 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
         27i,14n,27p,1078b,528s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,50000b,4000s


pdflatex:
        ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=65009].
        \label ...trip@prefix \meaning \@currentlabelname 
                                                          }\protected@write \@auxout...
        l.178 }
       
        If you really absolutely need more capacity,
        you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
        
         
        Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
         4982 strings out of 10428
         65009 string characters out of 65009
         125467 words of memory out of 263001
         7516 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+0
         14591 words of font info for 51 fonts, out of 400000 for 1000
         21 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
         27i,14n,41p,843b,528s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,50000b,4000s
        !  ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file not finished!



pdflatex with pool_size == 250000:
        Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
         5565 strings out of 10428
         78584 string characters out of 190009
         146846 words of memory out of 263001
         7871 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+0
         14585 words of font info for 51 fonts, out of 400000 for 1000
         21 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
