[XeTeX] XeTeX error message

[Jonathan Kew]

Looking at the code, it doesn't seem like the type of line endings 
should be a problem. So most likely I have a bug somewhere else to deal 
with.

Can you tell us a bit more about your iffy.tex file (or was that a 
made-up name?) and/or others where you're seeing this error? How big is 
the file; what encoding does it use; what line-end convention; anything 
else that might seem relevant? Do you have a small sample file you 
could send me that demonstrates the problem?

Thanks,

Jonathan
