Counter too large

Dear All,
In my current huge text (>7700 footnotes) I finally solved
the footnote paragraph format problem (see recent post) by
using manyfoot.
I still did not solve the problem with multicols warning me
about misplaced footnotes. The documentation of multicol
simply suggests to insert a \newpage manually. Urgh.
Now the document compiles, but somewhere near the end I
get the message "Counter too large". Unfortunately, the
log file does not tell me _which_ counter is too large.
How can I identify this counter?
Thanks in advance,
Oliver.

\@alph, \@Alph, \@fnsymbol that are used to format
numbers (\alph, \Alph, \fnsymbol). These list of symbols
are quite short (26 symbols for \alph and \Alph, 10 for
\fnsymbol).

numbers only, thus the name of the counter is not available
to them.
\tracingmacros=1 writes the macro expansions into the
.log file that can be inspected. If TeX throws the error
message, exit with "x". Then find at the end of the .log file
the expansion of \@ctrerr. The counter can be identified
in the code before.
Package alphalph provides several ways to deal with
numbering with a limited set of symbols.

The candidates are the counters represented via \alph,

\Alph, or \fnsymbol, as it's quite difficult to overflow
\arabic, \roman or \Roman. :)

Thank you very much for your helpful answers! I identified
the counter as an alpha footnote which I changed to roman

Thank you very much for your helpful answers! I identified
the counter as an alpha footnote which I changed to roman
style and everything was ok.
