on my hip and modern VISTA and up-to-date MPOST i get

! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [independent variables=33554431].
<for(895.93794)> line:=(1,0)--(1,1)
                                    ; ENDFOR
l.153 endfor
             ;


i have these mem values ...

main_memory.mpost        = 3000000
pool_size.mpost          = 3000000
max_strings.mpost        =  200000
path_size.mpost          =   10000
nest_size.mpost          =     500
param_size.mpost         =   10000
save_size.mpost          =   50000
stack_size.mpost         =    5000
string_vacancies.mpost   =   90000

(i assume that finally your line has soem valid value)
