[OS X TeX] TL2003 vs. TL2004, xelatex

[Claus Gerhardt]

I am not sure, if my experience is of any help, but I used the 
tiny-test.tex file, changed the class to amsart (so it also ran with 
article), loaded my complete set of mathmacros and copied from a paper 
of mine some pages. The modfied tiny-test compiled without errors 
(option --shell-escape)), surprisingly smooth, since I vaguely  
remember some chatter of incompatibilities with some packages, 
apparently none that I used, and I loaded my standard, fairly extended 
set of packages,  including hyperref and babel but not mfpic, see the 
complete log below, which also reveals memory settings.
