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

2017-02-01 Thread Akira Kakuto 

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


It seems to depend on the version of xelatex.fmt.

Best,
Akira

I am confused.  Is there any suggestion that any of these are implicated ?  I 
understood
that it was a misbehaviour by XeLaTeX, caused (perhaps) by a package change, 
and for
which Akira-san has already identified a source-level (XeTeX source) 
work-around.

Even if I change 

xelatex \\showthe\\everyjob

to 


xelatex \showthe\everyjob

I do not see the problem.

Then it may be a feature, it may be a bug -- I have no way of knowing, as I 
have no familiarity with command-line interpreters other than those for VMS and 
Windows.

You are right. On windows a back-slash don't need to be escaped.

It is not a fix but a stopgap for the problem.

It seems that in the given example,

/* texmfmp.c */
2815: string
2816: gettexstring (strnumber s)
2817: {

I also tested with the latest TeX Live svn (2017/dev), and

I'm not sure if this is really a problem, but just in case...
