That's the odd thing. This is a plain TeX project, and the only  
\special-s are:

	\def\dogray{\special{color gray .6}}
	\def\undogray{\special{color gray 0}}

Odder, is that some files compile perfectly (using 0.997/xdvipdfmx)  
while others do not.

Originally, I had \relax in the commands:

	\def\dogray{\special{color gray .6\relax}}
	\def\undogray{\special{color gray 0\relax}}

but have since removed them. The problem persists -- most files  
typeset, while a handful do not.
