[dvipdfmx] Intermittent xdvipdfmx failure

[Shunsaku Hirata]

Hi, Taylor-san,

I only see differences of previously mentioned tags,
the timestamp, and the document IDs here.
The number of bytes do not vary if not compressed.

Can you please send me two PDF outputs showing
a size difference? (preferably with "-z 0" option)
I will inspect the difference.

Thanks,
Shunsaku Hirata
