Description (last modified by )
Very recent versions of LaTeX won't build the PDF documentation for en/reference/stats/, instead yielding an error:
Chapter 8.
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\non@alpherr #1->\@latex@error {\string #1
allowed only in math mode}\@ehd
l.2922 ...Samplers for \protect\(\ZZ[x]\protect\)}
We should find a workaround.
(Split off from #31387 — some more discussion there.)
LaTeX bug is fixed at https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/pull/503.

This works for me (taken from one of the answers at tex.stackexchange.com).

Works for me, too. Thanks for fixing this.
By the way, I don't think \makeatletter and \makeatother are necessary, because the definition of \pdfstringdefDisableCommands in hyperref.sty already includes \makeatletter:
\def\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{%
\begingroup
\makeatletter
\HyPsd@DisableCommands
}
However, I don't see any harm in adding the extra lines, and it seems possible that old versions of hyperref might not have this, so the extra lines may be safer.
