[tex-live] [NTG-pdftex] Runtime limitations on open files?

Hi Martin,

\documentclass[pdftex,a5paper]{book}
\usepackage[papersize={8.5in,11in}]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
%
\let\mypdfximage\pdfximage
\def\pdfximage{\immediate\mypdfximage}
%
\begin{document}
\newcount\i
\i=2
\loop
  \ifnum\i<3000
    \includepdf[pages={-}]{\number\i.pdf}%
  \advance\i by1
\repeat

\end{document}

works also on Windows.  The "immediate" version does not
depend on the limitation on the number of open files.

Thanks,
Akira
