+% Much larger values requested from Keno Wehr, 17 May 2019 16:03:00,
+% but reduced (76000000/38000000) due to lack of memory on other
+% machines, from Johannes Hielscher, 10 Jul 2019 00:00:03 (tex-live list),
+% and later from Mojca Miklavec, 23 Sep 2019 21:21:42.
+% It seems hopeless, so went back to the original values (10000000/500000).
+%
+% The real solution is to provide a way to allocate the arrays
+% dynamically, so that the large arrays can be used by those who need
+% them but other are not affected.
