"symbol has reached its maximum expansion"

[Yves Forkl]

Hi,

I fear that my thesis may be too "heavy" for Lout:

1) It gave me the obscure error "symbol has reached its maximum 
expansion (1000)". As the error referred to a line in a temp file where 
something like a footnote counter seemed to occur, I suppose that this 
has something to do with the fact that my whole thesis has 1154 footnotes.

This occurred when I was using @FootNoteThrough { Yes }, meaning that 
footnotes count through in each of the chapters. They have some hundred 
footnotes each, but definitely not more than 1000.

So is the error related to counting the footnotes through? Once I set 
@FootNoteThrough { No } so that numbering starts anew at each page, I 
didn't face that error again. (But at least in some runs, the PS 
produced showed hundreds of cases where the footnotes were on the wrong 
pages, sometimes I even had 3 footnotes all numbered as "1" on the 
bottom of the page! The last PS generated, however, seemed to be OK 
except for some rare, unobtrusive cases where the last footnote label on 
the page  read "1", while its footnote appeared on the next page.)

2) My references database, when finished, will have about 180 K of size, 
its 535 references are cited in 2300 citations (plus about 1000 
instances of @NoCite, generated when citing a reference contained in 
some other reference to make sure the containing reference also gets its 
entry displayed - but I might generate an include file that only 
contains one instance of @NoCite per containing reference, probably 
around 150 entries).

Will Lout also reach its limits when processing them, i.e., is there a 
symbol involved in the processing of the citations and references that 
might reach its maximum expansion here, too?

If so, what I can I do?
