Summary0000251: mplib: can't increase main_memoy
DescriptionWith the attached file (luatex.fmt and plain.mem in the current dir) I get an mplib error:

 MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000].

When I uncomment the line with main_memory=10000, I still get the same error but with number 10000 instead of 5000.

I would have expected that when I increase the main_memory I can process more lines of input. At least this is what the error message made me think. I believe that this is an issue of number of input lines, because when I delete one line from the input, I get no error message. This is the output:

You have to regenerate the metapost mem file

OK, that seems to work, thanks! But the message confuses me (i.e. the message reports the new setting, although it is not used, right?). So: it works for me but this could be considered confusing.

Yes, quite right. I'll try to fix that in a later version
