I think I may have a temporary fix for the [][][][][][] problem, until
such time as I correct the real bug in XeTeX and release a new version.
I've been able to reproduce the problem here, and identified a
texmf.cnf setting that appears to trigger it (and which was changed in
a recent i-Package update).
Edit the file:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
(you may need to sudo pico ... or whatever your favorite editor is),
look for the Memory section, and add the lines:
extra_mem_bot.xetex = 0
extra_mem_bot.xelatex = 0
It is not necessary to regenerate the format files after adding these
entries.
(ConTeXt users may need an additional setting; I'm not sure what format
name they're using.)
Well, at the moment, it's context:
extra_mem_bot.context = 0
(That's a pretty harsh workaround, considering extra_mem_bot.context =
400 is the default in gwTeX. ConTeXters may prefer the \hfuzz
suggestion from the XeTeX list. In any case, it explains why I was seeing
the infinite loop so early!)
Please let me know, those who've run into the problem, whether this
does solve it for you. Meanwhile, I will of course aim to fix the bug
in XeTeX that makes non-zero extra_mem_bot settings fail in this way.
A quick test on a file that normally sends XeTeX spinning away was fine
after zeroing extra_mem_bot. Thanks!
