Hi Wolfgang,
The comment
{ largest value of param_ptr, will be <= param_size + 9 }
at the declaration of max_param_stack seems misleading to me. I'd
suggest instead:
{ largest value of param_ptr }
The param_ptr must not exceed param_size, which is ensured in module 390.
That's true about param_ptr. The misleading part is that second half of
the comment, "will be <= param_size + 9", is also intended to apply to
max_param_stack, not param_ptr. A semicolon instead of comma would have
made that clearer.
DRF had some more commentary on this, which I copied into my new entry
on the nobug page about this: http://tug.org/texmfbug/nobug.html#maxparamstack
Thanks,
Karl
