[OS X TeX] TeX running out of space (at least it says so.)

hi.

over time i started using more and more packages for the things i 
write... that never was a problem, until i installed the latest TeX.ii2 
package, from 2004/11/06 19:06:48 (thanks so much for creating the 
package btw, it installed like a charm, as usual!).

now, when trying to compile a document that previously compiled without 
problems, i get:

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=5000].

below is a little sample document that creates the problem on my 
computer, and the corresponding pdfetex output. to me, the problem 
doesn't seem pinpointable to a particular package -- as far as i have 
tested, commenting any one or two packages out gets rid of it (try f.i. 
commenting out the ams packages).

what should i do?
any help appreciated,
tia - jan
