[XeTeX] XeTeX error message

[Jonathan Kew]

My guess is that your iffy.tex file is a big file and has nothing that 
is recognized as a line ending (i.e., 0x0A) .... could it be a 
Mac-style file with only CR (0x0D) ending the lines? If so, you need to 
convert the line-ends to Unix-style newlines.

Or does "somewhat randomly" mean that you get the error intermittently 
even with the exact same file? That would imply some other kind of 
problem.
