earlier i commited powerpc-aix and sparc-solaris too (both big-endian,
and both had this problem).

note that on my AIX box xetex does not start because of "memory exhausted" message:

http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-September/017734.html

do you have an idea on what could be wrong?

small note: just running "pdftex -ini \\relax" and looking at the
process memory usage, i see it uses 6864 Kb of resident memory (73356
VIRT) on my linux box.

but for "xetex -ini \relax", i see:

 TL2008: 128m RES, 239m VIRT
 TL2007: 14m RES, 95m VIRT

why did xetex's memory usage so much increased compared to TL2007?

Best,
