   Well, I finally got around to upgrading from TeX 2.991 to 3.0 on our

As it turns out, this is what happens if you first make triptex, then
make "real" TeX.  Apparently, making triptex changes tex/texd.h after
running the convert script and touching stamp-convert, and that change
will not be reversed when you build TeX.  So TeX was built with
triptex parameters, which includes mem_top=3000.

I did 'make veryclean' and rebuilt, and things look rosy at the moment.
If course, make veryclean may be overkill, but then CPU time is
cheaper than my time ;-)   Thanks to those who responded.
