[texhax] Enlarging TeX

I am using pdftex with the context supp-pdf macros to create a pdf file from a tex file 
containing metapost eps files.  All is well until I try pdftex on a file containing a 
very large (the curve.64 file is 103423 bytes in size) metapost eps file.  The .log message 
is at the end of this note.  If I simply delete this one file from consideration, all is well.

My question is where can I read about "enlarging" tex or more directly how do I 
accomplish this?

Many thanks in advance.

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
