By default there isn't.

did you do a 'sudo fmtutil --all' (no quotes)?

Maarten.

PS, I've enlarged my memory sizes to something a bit larger. The  
exact keys with default values can be found in /usr/local/teTeX/share/ 
texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Adding to main memory and/or extra_mem will  
usually suffice.

% Memory. Must be less than 8,000,000 total.

% For some xy-pic samples, you may need as much as 700000 words of  
memory.
% For the vast majority of documents, 60000 or less will do.

main_memory = 2000000 % words of inimemory available; also applies to  
inimf&mp
extra_mem_top = 2000000     % extra high memory for chars, tokens, etc.
extra_mem_bot = 4000000     % extra low memory for boxes, glue,  
breakpoints, etc.

% ConTeXt is a memory hog...
extra_mem_top.context = 2000000
extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000
main_memory.context = 2000000
main_memory.mpost = 3000000

% Buffer size.  TeX uses the buffer to contain input lines, but macro
% expansion works by writing material into the buffer and reparsing the
% line.  As a consequence, certain constructs require the buffer to be
% very large.  As distributed, the size is 50000; most documents can be
% handled within a tenth of this size.
buf_size = 500000

hyph_size = 2000        % number of hyphenation exceptions, >610 and  
<32767.
nest_size = 2500        % simultaneous semantic levels (e.g., groups)
max_in_open = 15    % simultaneous input files and error insertions
param_size = 5000    % simultaneous macro parameters
save_size = 25000    % for saving values outside current group
stack_size = 1500    % simultaneous input sources

% Parameter specific to MetaPost.
% Maximum number of knots between breakpoints of a path.
% Set to 2000 by default.
% path_size.mpost = 30000
