Hello,

the variable settings in texmf.cnf are very inconsistent,
for example pool_size. It seems the value should now
be increased by factor ten, most pool_size entries
contain 1 250 000.

The result of "grep pool_size texmf.cnf":

pool_size =           125 000
pool_size.hugetex = 1 250 000
pool_size =         1 250 000
pool_size.mpost =     500 000
pool_size.context = 1 250 000
pool_size.metafun = 1 000 000
pool_size....     = 1 250 000 (all following entries)

So pool_size without program name occurs two times,
  kpsewhich --expand-var \$pool_size
shows "125 000", so the first entry is choosen
with the lowest value.

Yours sincerely
