    As a user, I would expect that save_size is 200000. But it seems to me 
    that tex.ch cuts it back to 80000?

You're right. I don't think there would be any problem with changing
sup_save_size in tex.ch, since apparently it can go up to
max_halfword. You could probably do that for MiKTeX, but I don't want to
rebuild TL just for that at this point. So I changed texmf.cnf for
consistency and will change the code later. Thanks. -k
