I do not know passivetex but this is standard problem with tetex as
installed too. Their default pool size is too small.
For tetex case, I editted /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf from:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
...
% Extra space for the hash table of control sequences (which allows 10K
% names as distributed).
hash_extra.context = 40000
hash_extra = 0
% Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages,
% help texts, font names, control sequences. These values apply to TeX and MP.
pool_size.context = 750000
pool_size = 125000
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
string_vacancies.context = 45000
string_vacancies = 25000
% Maximum number of strings.
max_strings.context = 55000
max_strings = 15000
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free.context = 47500
pool_free = 5000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
to something like
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Extra space for the hash table of control sequences (which allows 40K
% names as distributed).
hash_extra.context = 160000
hash_extra = 0
% Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages,
% help texts, font names, control sequences. These values apply to TeX and MP.
pool_size.context = 3000000
pool_size = 500000
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
string_vacancies.context = 180000
string_vacancies = 100000
% Maximum number of strings.
max_strings.context = 220000
max_strings = 60000
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free.context = 200000
pool_free = 20000
