Well, at the moment, it's "context": extra_mem_bot.context = 0 (That's a pretty harsh workaround, considering "extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000" 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.

A quick test on a file that normally sends XeTeX spinning away was fine after zeroing extra_mem_bot. Thanks! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
