I know this rule :) But avagraha doesn't stand for any sound, it only marks elision (or contraction) and can be omitted, that's why it can't bear anuswâra, which would explain why fonts don't have any rule to place an anuswâra over an avagraha. If you have John Smith's electronic edition

One of our people is getting a crash in xetex, which I can't reproduce. It's very odd, since afaik we're both using the same input files, the same instance of xetex, the same TeXLive 2014 files, and so forth, and running on the same machine. Clearly s.t. is different, but I'm not sure what,

It may be so, it looks like a postscript error message and run is a postscript operator that executes a file contents. 2014-08-27 23:27 GMT+02:00 maxwell maxw...@umiacs.umd.edu: One of our people is getting a crash in xetex, which I can't reproduce. It's very odd, since afaik we're both using

The problem is that unlike TeX, postscript error messages show the contents of the stack but not the operator that triggered the error message. You can see that the top of the stac contains font related objects. The font itself is a dictionary (--dict--) and it contains other dictionaries.
