This must be an old metafont. buffer size errors are usually caused by 
using files which end in just the UNIX LF (line-feed) instead of CR/LF.

All of Eberhard's newer packages understand both forms of End-of-line; I
suggest you get the newest metafont from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in
pub/os2/all/emtex/betatest (or something like that).
