  I have a user who needs to put all of her figure captions at the end of her
LaTeX document.  She has about twenty-five captions in a row, all of the form:

\begin{figure}
 \caption[title]{text...}
 \label{labelname}
\end{figure}

The caption texts average around fifty words each.  LaTeXing such a file
induces the LaTeX error:

!  Too many unprocesed floats.

Ok, so I look in Chapter 6 of the LaTeX book, and it refers to logjams and
such.  So I move the offending figure to the beginning of the text, but I
still receive the same error on the same line of the LaTeX file.

So is there some upper limit on how many figures may be placed in a row in a
LaTeX document?  Is there a way to get around this?  Her publishing
requirements necessitate placing all captions together.  Perhaps she shouldn't
use the figure environment, but simply make the captions independent of the
figure environment?  Thanks in advance.
