bufsize

[Fabrice POPINEAU]

I have 2 problems with buf_size :

- buf_size in texmf.cnf is set to 50000, but when overflowing is
reported to be 30000 ? Normal because sup_buf_size is 30000 in tex.ch .

- I have been sent a test document :

\documentstyle[graphicx,psfrag]{ieice}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!htb]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.5in]{block1.eps}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

which reports :

(f:/TeX/texmf/tex/latex/misc/psfrag.sty) (test.aux) <psfrag:block1.eps>! Unable
to read an entire line---bufsize=30000.
Please increase buf_size in texmf.cnf.

This is expected (for me !) because the .eps file contains a long
binary string, longer than the buf_size, and psfrag reads the file.
Without psfrag, this file can't be processed. What's the proper answer 
to this problem ? Increase sup_buf_size ? Or is there any other hack ?
