I have not had problems with either table of contents or indexes (indices,
whatever) on a long document > 160K.  I suspect you have inadvertently
fouled up a ".cnHeading;" and/or ".i.word;" entry in your document and are
trying to collect a verrrrry BIG heading or index entry.  Of course I have
accidently deleted a semicolon on an index entry and gotten the rest of the
paragraph in my index with no bomb.  But when I don't mess up, things work
fine.  I have about 45 entries in my toc and 120 entries in the index.
