Thanks.  The specfile does a little magic to adjust a few limits.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-doc&m=120642969729883&w=2 also has some info,
which mentions that some changes to TeX are needed.
I'm not sure if the limit changes the specfile does are enough, or
if TeX will need patching.  I'll experiment a little this afternoon.
