It is unclear to me which pool size is exceeded. Also, I never changed 
any of the sizes in texmf.cnf, so my pool sizes are what it says in 
texmf.cnf:

% 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 = 125000
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
string_vacancies.context = 45000
string_vacancies = 25000
% Maximum number of strings.
max_strings.context = 55000
max_strings = 15000
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free.context = 47500
pool_free = 5000

What size should I change to get this file compiled?
