Hello, I encountered the following situation with xelatex.
$ echo x | xelatex \\showthe\\everyjob This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99996 (TeX Live 2016) (preloaded format=xelatex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode LaTeX2e <2017/01/01> patch level 1 Babel <3.9r> and hyphenation patterns for 83 language(s) loaded. > \typeout {\fmtname \space <\fmtversion > patch level \patch@level }\typeout { Babel <3.9r> and hyphenation patterns for 83 language(s) loaded.}. <*> \showthe\everyjob ? xelatex(45131) malloc: *** mmap(size=18446744073636376576) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 18446744073636373502 bytes). No pages of output. I also tested with the latest TeX Live svn (2017/dev), and it gave the same result. On Windows, the message "xelatex.exe has stopped working" appeared. I'm not sure if this is really a problem, but just in case...
