We use the DSSSL route to generate PDFs:

 1. Generate .tex out of .xml
 2. Generate .dvi out of .tex (in three runs, because of
    the nature of the converter)
 3. Convert .dvi to .pdf

Probably we hit a limit in the second step, as we have a too big manual
and the converter can't cope with it. Hartmut suggested that the limit
settings of that converter should be increased so it would be able to
run correctly. I cannot add anything to this, I have no experinece in
generating PDFs this way, nor I have ever tried it.
