[XeTeX] error: can't allocate region with xelatex

[Apostolos Syropoulos]

Hello,

I have tested tcsh, ksh and bash and all fail to show the problem.

$ tcsh --version
tcsh 6.18.01 (Astron) 2012-02-14 (amd64-sun-solaris) options wide,nls,dl,al,kan,rh,color,filec
$ tcsh

$ ksh --version

version         sh (AT&T Research) 93t+ 2010-03-05
$ ksh

Even if I change 

xelatex \\showthe\\everyjob

to 


xelatex \showthe\everyjob

I do not see the problem.
