[Therion] Tex memory exceeded

I just added 20 cross sections and now my map fails to process with:

converting scraps ... done
making map ... done
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
entering extended mode
(./data.tex (./th_enc.tex) (./th_texts.tex) (./th_resources.tex)
(./th_fontdef.tex{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map})
(./th_formdef.tex
Runaway text?
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=1000000].
l.47627 \PL{
            249.81 181.74 250.44 181.80 250.46 182.14 c}%
If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
 292 strings out of 97341
 2961 string characters out of 1211748
 1000001 words of memory out of 1000000

Do I really need to change this (how?) or is it probably something else
that has gone wrong? That 'runaway text?' looks suggestive. 

What I really need to know is how to debug it. I ran therion -d so now
I have a /tmp/thTMPDIR full of mysterious stuff. Attached is data.tex
from there, which seems likely to be relevant. Is that enough to
determine what broke?

The current full dataset is in svn at wookware.org, which MartinS now
has access to. 

And whilst I'm here:
I would also note that adding scraps in a 900-line file is almost
unbearably slow on a 900Mhz machine. It feels like something in the
code does a linear search so it gets slower and slower to add each
line/item. ctrl-r produces about a 15-second wait. 

I supppose I should just have put all the x-sects in another file.
