[pdftex] infinite recursion in pdftex_fail

just looking at utils.c:

pdftex_fail calls tex_printf

tex_printf calls maketexstring

maketexstring calls check_buf (a macro)

check_buf calls pdftex_fail if the check fails

and so on..


i've even got a core dump to prove it ;) 



not knowing anything about web2c or TeX internals, is it ok for  
pool_size to be greater than POOLMAX ?

(pool_size is 125000 in my debian/tetex texmf.cnf, POOLMAX is 65000 in
 pdftex's src/texk/web2c/mpware/dmp.c)
