Paul's suggestion is certainly worthy of a try. However, sometimes the problem
is a problem of the whole, rather than of the sum of the parts. I mean this:
When I was finishing up my thesis, I ran into various TeX capacity problems,
none of which would occur when each chapter (appendix, etc.) was compiled
separately, nor when all but one were put together. It didn't matter which I
removed, the result would compile, but all together wouldn't. Taking out the
TOC, too, fixed things, or the bibliography, or the index.
I ended up concluding that I was running into some problem with the sum of
the TOC + chapters + reference list(s) + appendices + index, and only fixed it
by collecting at least two of my main chapters into a single appendix. It
wasn't ideal, but I could find no other way around the problem.
I hear that there are a few TeX replacements (or "modern" versions) which
don't have these esoteric limits to them, but don't know of their status. Does
anyone have suggestions of some systems I could research?
C.O.
===============================================
If that's not the source of the memory problem, you might try a
divide-and-conquer approach. Chop out pieces of the thesis until you
get something that compiles, then put things back until you either
identify a maximum amount of the document that compiles or identify one
particular piece that's at fault (meaning the entire document minus that
piece compiles, and that piece by itself does not). If it's the latter
case, use divide-and-conquer within just that piece to find the culprit.
