Hi,

After a recent upgrade of TeXLive from Gerben's EXPERIMENTAL  
directory, I found that xelatex didn't work. Following some earlier  
suggestions that I had received, I tried 'sudo fmtutil ---byfmt  
xetex' and 'sudo fmtutil --byfmt xelatex'. The xetex format is  
created, though with a lot of overfull hboxes and 88 underfull hboxes  
thrown at me. But I get an error with formatting xelatex. I give part  
of the output below. Can anyone help me figure it out?

Underfull \vbox (badness 10000) has occurred while \output is active

! LaTeX Error: The font size command \normalsize is not defined:
                there is probably something wrong with the class file.
