Hm. If you really use etex I would say some of your commands run
amok. I can use without problem more then 30.000 counter with xetex
and I really don't know why a document would need so much.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{etex,ifthen}

\begin{document}
\whiledo{\arabic{section}<30000}
{\newcount\mycount
 \stepcounter{section}}
\end{document}


Look in the log-file and try to find out who is using so much
counters.
