ps/ps.map/labels.h

defines MAXLABELS as 10. I don't know why. You can try increasing that,
recompiling, and see what happens.


alternatively make a master labels file out of the multiple smaller
ones:

cd $MAPSET/paint/labels/
cat labelfile1 labelfile2 labelfile3 > labelsfile_all


then just use labelsfile_all. maybe open in a text editor and make sure
the spacing between files is correct. I think it should be ok though.
