A few days ago I picked up the latest LaTeX distribution from 
labrea.stanford.edu and tryed to install it on a Macintosh running
OzTeX. Here are the details:

* Macintosh LC with 4Mb memory

* OzTeX 1.42 with the following memory parameters taken from the 
    configuration file (range of allowable values in parentheses):
    
	mem_max				= 65534		(mem_top..65534)
	font_max			= 255		(1..255)
	font_mem_size		= 27000		(8..65535)
	max_strings			= 5000		(1300..16382)
	string_vacancies	= 20000		(0..42035)
	pool_size			= 65535		(string_vacancies+23500..65535)
	buf_size			= 32765		(120..32765)
	stack_size			= 200		(1..2000)
	max_in_open			= 6			(1..30)
	param_size			= 60		(1..16382)
	nest_size			= 40		(1..1000)
	save_size			= 600		(1..8190)
	trie_size			= 8000		(1..16382)
	trie_op_size		= 500		(1..8190)

	mem_top				= 50000		(mem_min+1100..mem_max)
	hash_size			= 2500		(325..6550)
	hash_prime			= 2129		(prime about 85% of hash_size)
	hyph_size			= 307		(prime from 1..16382)

* When I ran initex on lplain.tex, it gave the following error message:

     This is TeX, Version 3.14 (INITEX)  9 SEP 1992 21:50
     **lplain\dump
     (:TeX-inputs:lplain.tex
     ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [buf_size=32765].
     l.1 
         % File LPLAIN - Created 29 October 1985 from plain version 1.5CM^...
     If you really absolutely need more capacity,
     try increasing the appropriate parameter in the current config file.

     No pages of output.

* When I ran initex on splain.tex (to get SliTeX) I get the same message.

* I installed the same package on a Sun 3 (SunOS 4.1) at work on 
  monday, and was successful. What's the difference?
  
* I am using a modified version of report.sty (14jan92) to write my
  dissertation and I also using some style files from the TeX archives 
  (apalike,setspace,breakcites,fancyheadings). I guess the latest 
  report.sty is not compatible with the version of LaTeX distributed 
  with OzTeX (last modified 20oct88 according to header of lplain.tex).
  
  
  HELP!!
