The relevant lines in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, are:
% Buffer size. TeX uses the buffer to contain input lines, but macro
% expansion works by writing material into the buffer and reparsing the
% line. As a consequence, certain constructs require the buffer to be
% very large. As distributed, the size is 50000; most documents can be
% handled within a tenth of this size.
buf_size.pdfxmltex = 200000
buf_size.xmltex = 200000
buf_size = 50000
It looks like buf_size has been set up for pdfxmltex, but that for
some reason the default value is picked.
Does anyone know why?
Thanx!
