limitcheck due to Japanese characters.

I have a postscript file that has a lot of these statements:

/JPString (#$@#$) def

(Those strange characters are actually japanese, which I can't copy
paste into this very well)

I get this error when I try this.

Error: /limitcheck in -file-

Current file position is 238753

and the offset this is reporting, 238753, is nowheres near my code.
If I comment the line out, it runs, it has othere errors because it
can't find JPString, but thats expected.

What is this 'limitcheck' error? In my copy of the Postscript
Reference Manual, it talks about exceeding integer sizes, or real
sizes, or number of gsaves, but I'm not doing any of that. I can only
speculate that it doesn't like the japanese characters, but I have
other postscript files where it works. Can somebody see my problem?
