HI

I think you need the one in

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c

it has  lines

% Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages,
% help texts, font names, control sequences.  These values apply to TeX and MP.
pool_size.context = 750000
pool_size = 750000
%pool_size = 125000
