Jadetex failing



Hi,

I've got a Docbook SGML source that I'm trying to convert to Postscript by
doing a jade->jadetex->dvips sequence, but am experiencing problems.

My system is a Debian 'sid' distribution, so I currently have:

ii  jade           1.2.1-18       James Clark's DSSSL Engine
ii  jadetex        2.20-2         LaTeX macros for SGML to DVI/PS/PDF conversi


I can postprocess my source SGML to HTML using jade, no problem.  And I can
process it with jade and wind up with a large (~14MB) .tex file.  However, 
when I try to run jadetex on the resulting file, I get messages like this:

   [rsd@dubinski-family ps]$ jadetex RSDPerlClass.tex
   This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
   (RSDPerlClass.tex

Ok, so I RTFM and begin tweaking /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, enlarging variables
such as: extra_mem_bot, extra_mem_top, and extra_mem_bot.jadetex.  This
helps, allowing the processing to proceed further.  Unfortunately, continuing
to add eventually leads to a spot where we have an xmalloc segmentation fault:

   This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
   fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 112504008 bytes).


My source isn't terribly long, maybe 100 pages right now.  It will grow 
to maybe 300 before all is said and done.  The HTML post-processing is
working fine, but I'd sure like to be able to get .ps and .pdf working too.

Ideas?


Thanks,

-Robb
