    The document does indeed compile with lualatex (even with morewrites loaded). Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 3:03
  • @AlanMunn That's expected. morewrites bails out if luatex is used. It issues a warning, but that's all. Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 3:26
  • do you really need morewrites? if in your real document you remove it do you get an allocation error on allocating a new \write ? Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 7:13
  • @DavidCarlisle I think so. I can see the number of new writes in the log file. To reduce them, I'd have to change the way I've setup glossaries, I think. For example, I could use bib2gls rather than xindy. But that would mean converting all the databases. I know there's a conversion tool, but I'm not sure how messy it would get.

  • @cfr you can write any number of files from classic tex, what you can't do is have more than 16 files open for writing at the same time. I don't know what xindy is doing here but is really need that many open streams? Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 15:59
