I've just started using cweb, and I've come across what seems to be
a serious limitation.  I have a C section labeled:

	@(foo.c@>=
	...

which is about 200 lines long.  This was no problem for ctangle, but
cweave dies with the following message:

	! Sorry, scrap/token/text capacity exceeded. (l. 399)

So, I doubled max_scraps to fix this, recompiled cweave, and tried
again with the following result:

	! Sorry, text capacity exceeded. (l. 448)

which is different but not really better.  I don't want to continually
increase the size of these memory areas.  Is the idea that 200 line
programs are really too large?

Thanks in advance for opinions and pointers (but not flames ;-)
Eric
