[dvipdfmx] Intermittent xdvipdfmx failure

[Philip Taylor]

/Arigato gozaimasu/, Hirata-san. I seem to recall that someone (perhaps 
David Carlisle, or another member of the LaTeX team) asked for a way to 
generate 100% identical PDF files for the purposes of regression 
testing, so I will search back in the archives to see if I can locate 
the thread and then add the necessary additional command-line 
qualifier(s) required to accomplish this.
