[tex-live] [XeTeX] xelatex crashes with a large document (TL2010)

Hi 

>From the error log you have supplied, the error happens on page 34. It seems to me that this is not far into the document, and thus I think the crash has nothing to do with the size of the document. I suspect that there is some instruction in the source code which causes the crash, not the size of the document (in later post, it is also stated that none of the "public domain large latex files" cause the same crash).

So maybe you can inspect the source on page 34? Otherwise, if the document uses \input or \include, then I would recommend simply starting with a minimal source and then to slowly add content until you obtain the crash. Then at least you know which content causes the crash, and we may be able to investigate further.

Cheers,
Wilfred
