MF doesn't have the same problem. When done, latex loops infinitely on a simple file (small.tex) and never exits. I compiled tangle and web2c with and without -O flags and got the sampe problem. Any suggestions? ------ Begin of Message % make ../web/tangle tex.web ctex.ch This is TANGLE, C Version 4 *1*17*25*38*54*72*99*110*115*133 ! Value too big: 2550000.
