[dvipdfmx] Intermittent xdvipdfmx failure

[Shunsaku Hirata]

Tim-san,

I tried that w32tex binary of dvipdfmx and could not reproduce the crash here.

I don't know if it works for your environment but I put my own build
of the latest
TeXLive source on the following page:

  https://shirat74.github.io/

I think just replacing xdvipdfmx.exe is enough.

Thanks for the cooperation.


Thanks,
Shunsaku Hirata
