[tex-live] repeated xelatex call destroys pdf output

[Shunsaku Hirata]

Hi,

There is some important changes to xdvipdfmx made on 20180821 and
20180904 related to PDF inclusion. I could not reporoduce the problem
on Windows 10 but it might be related. Xdvipdfmx version 20180821 had
some problems in including PDF file which was fixed on 20180904.
