[OS X TeX] Lost floats

I'm encountering a rather disastrous problem for which I can't provide a minimal example, since it is the maximal structure that seems to be causing it. I'm asking for suggestions on how to trouble shoot it.
Here is the situation: I am revising a large book project, and in particular I have a set of pst-3D pictures set up in complicated floats (with sub floats, etc). These have never caused problems until just now. I was tinkering with some text several pages before these floats when I started getting the error message "Floats lost". I tried to track down what was causing this problem, and ultimately commented out the whole section of text (which has no direct connection to the floats in question--they are in a different section ) which resulted in still getting the error message, but the floats which get lost seem to vary with what I comment out in the text. (That is, some lost ones reappear, but others disappear) I have no idea how to proceed from here, since anything that might have been embedded in the text I was tinkering with has been commented out, and before I started tinkering there was no error message.
I seemed to recall that in the previous version of this book project I ran into some problems having to do with memory--I think--and it was resolved by following each of these megafloats with the line "\afterpage{\clearpage}". I found one of these commented out in my present version and restored it--again changing which floats get lost, but not the fact that some are always being lost.
Any ideas?
