Oh, yes, of course! No, I pretty much set everything to max just to  
make sure I never have to deal with it again. My half-step refinement  
method is just a bit cruder than Ross's. Even then there are  
parameters that will not grow beyond a certain value (that 9 MB  
metapost output file can not be included by TeX - it will cause a  
serious memory overflow).
